Is it possibly acid reflux? I used to think I was having a heart attack all the time. I'd say take some tums and see if it gets a little better in 10 minutes. If not, call your doctor or go to urgent care.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm gonna agree with sj here.
Does acid reflux pain happen over on the right side? Like, WAY over? It's not close at all to the left side, or even the center. But I have Tums, and I might as well try it.
It's probably nothing. Just a weird...something. I'm pretty lightheaded, but that's probably stress. Or I need to eat something. It was probably just a weird anomaly.
Was it possibly like a side stitch or spasm of the chest muscle? They can really hurt.
Well, Tums didn't change anything. I texted Tim and he called and when I told him what happened, he said that's what happened when his lung collapsed (pain, pressure, lightheadedness with any exertion). But that's statistically improbable. That I have a collapsed lung, too. That would be ludicrous.
I guess it could be a spasm of the chest muscle. It still feels like a big fat man is pushing down on my chest, though, and there's a weird pain in the same spot (um, latitude-wise, I mean) on my back, like under my shoulder blade.
Steph, I have had those stabbing pains from acid reflux all over. They would often be sharp enough that they would trigger panic attacks. My doctor pointed out that the digestive system snakes everywhere.
Huh. Maybe more Tums, then? I just wish the pressure on my chest would stop.
You still have the pressure??? Urgent care for you, woman.
Teppy, go to a doctor RIGHT THE HELL NOW. I know you don't want to, I know you haven't showered, but go to a doctor, just in case, k? Please?
Yeah, now I'm inclined to agree with Suzi, if it's going on for this long.
