chest pain..........

[gerry1]

today my chest feels as though its being slowley torn apart in the middle of the rib bone.

I have felt this before, but this is the worse its been today. I was just sitting by the computer and all of a sudden I fellt as though I was the american wherewolf in london. It just felt as though the chest bone was slowely being ripped apart or growing apart, has anyone else felt this pain?

I also must say that everyone is so caring on this site, I havnt posted for a while but when i do people always come to the rescue with kind words

thank you

hi gerry ive just found this blog, one night i woke up with what i thought was a heartattack, i had an emergency appointment at the docs the next day and was told it was a viral infection. (which i thought untrue ) i started going to a weekly session with other sufferers and was told there that one of the symptons were pains in the chest, i still get these all the time but now i no its not a heartattack, but just goes to show the doctors dontreally no anything about this x paula

Hi Gerry, i have started to suffer with chest pain and i thought i was to having a heart attack as the pain went up to my left shoulder and down my arm and felt really quite unwell whilst it was hurting. On my regular check up with my doctor i told her about the pain and that nothing in particular would bring it on thankfully i have a fantastic doctor and she automatically planned an ECG and another fasting blood test. She isn't concerned as my blood pressure was near on perfect but wanted to rule all possibilities out.

I can longer lie on my side as it feels as though the air is being squeezed out of my lungs whilst my chest is being ripped open, i was only just getting to grips with everything else that's going on and now this *sigh* oh well onward's and upwards!
