My names Zoe I’m 42..
the last year I have been having pains like a big bruise when I breath or cough or pick up something heavy, it’s the at the bottom middle of my rib cage.. it started when I had some kind of horrible experience, I couldn’t breath properly had to take little puff breaths whilst sweating so bad and bent over as it was my only comfort position wise I had shooting pains up the left side of my neck from my shoulder it lasted about 20mins then went, but ever since that pain has been there, I still have these attack things but not as bad as that 1st one maybe a couple a month.. Iv been to the doctors many times the keep pushing anxiety tablets which I refused, but now Iv got a chest X-ray booked.. I’m really scared..
Please don't get fobbed off, ask to have an ECG as well just to be on the safe side. I had pains like that, unfortunately I for me mine was my heart. Please don't panic but it's better to er on the side of caution. Please let me know how you get on, I'm sure you will be fine. Take care.🙂 Bernadette xx
