Stabbing Chest pain
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hello,
So, how to explain. Basically Ive been having chest tightness all week, fine, fair enough I attribute this to the Acid Reflux my Doctor prescribed me meds for without doing an actual examination (So naturally Im slightly sceptical)
Ive also been feeling like I cant breath. I know I can because I can take deep breaths and exhale. But I feel like I am not getting enough oxygen, but again I am because I am not dead yet.
However, Today, I have been getting sudden intense stabbing pains in my chest. Really bad. The worst one lasted for about 3 minutes. I wasnt really doing anything, just sitting watching TV. This gave me a panic attack, probably the 8th one this week.
So I decided to go for a 7km cycle with the girlfriend. At the halfway point I felt really short of breath and I was convinced that I was having a heart attack so we had to stop and take a few minutes to relax. While I debated calling an ambulance or not. It seemed to pass, the pain and anxiousness and breathlesness.
So we cycled back the 3.5km at a slower pace on the road this time instead of the beach. No breathlesness at all this time. Anyway, I am quite anxious.
Logically my brain is telling me, if I had a major heart of lung problem theres no way I could have done that cycle surely? The chest pains I had earlier have not returned yet, althought I did feel minor pains in my right shoulder as I was cycling but I reckon that was muscle discomfort.
Any help please?

Second I think the pain you are describing would be like Stabbing, which is cause by inflammation to lungs... which lasts for few min to hour and goes of without medication.
However it depends upon your age... so if you are young then its probably Lung Inflammation.. which is nothing to worry... just relax and try eating Ginger or garlic which is excellent Anti Inflammatory natures gift...

I am 26 so I'm in no way high risk but my anxiety doesn't think that. I read a lot about ginger capsules being good for inflammation I must try them. Thanks!

Look up "pre cordial catch" too. It's a pain you get in your chest area which isn't anything to worry about. This might make sense to you if you read up on it
