Chest pains for years - General Health Message Board

Apple7 · 09-30-2008, 07:28 AM

Hello, I'm 22 years old.

Ever since (estimate) 2002 I've had minor chest pains. I will try to describe them best as I can.

All I can say is I have them now and then. Some just start like that. Some, when I take a deep'ish breath I get a pain, and can't take deep breaths till it goes.

It seems lying down helps the pain.

However early last year (I think) I had the worst experiance. The tight clenching in the chest feeling. I had to lay down on the floor which seemed to help and it eventually went.

On a side note, I don't wear bras, but I highly doubt this is the cause.

I'm so sorry for being vague, if there's any questions you could ask me to open my mind up please do!

Hi, sorry couldn't be of much help now but does your chest hurts like a pulse. I mean, sometimes the left part of chest hurts and sometimes the right side? Or is it somewhat your whole chest hurts?

It's hard for me to remember but I'll give you what I know.

I belive I usually get the pulsing pain. But other times I've had a static pain if you know what I mean? One that doesn't pulse.

The locations are all over my chest. I couldn't say for sure but I think I get the left side pains more. Dont' quote me on this.

Sorry it took me a while to remember anything useful.

hi
I had the tightness/sharp pain in the center of the chest and not being able to breathe until it passes..I am 55 years now and have had the intermitten pain since I was a kid.....still get it.. recently had a chest scan...found out I have an ulcer on the artery in the heart with soft plaque.. but I do not think it is related
