I am 24 years old. I am about 30 pounds overweight. Starting in May 2003, I would have a feeling of shortness of breath, but I could breathe fine. (It felt like I was not getting all of the oxygen that I should). I went to the doctor, and she said it was probably stress. Around July 2003 I would get a pinching feeling in my heart area maybe once a week, sometimes less, sometimes more. The feeling would last just a couple of seconds. I still get these feelings, and sometimes I will get an achy feeling on my left side, right below my armpit area. This ache would last for a few hours, taking a Tylenol or Advil would make the ache go away. I have been just waiting for these feelings to go away, but they haven't. I am going to make a doctor's appointment next week, because I have been worried, and find myself thinking about it all of the time, and scaring myself. Has anyone had symptons similar to this? What could it be? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.
