Sharp Shooting Pains, Help?

[xDeathKnightx]

Yeah, hi. Uhm, lately i have been having these, sharp shooting pains in the left side of my chest, like when i breathe in, it will start then, and get worse the more i breathe in, and then eventually i have to breathe out really quickly because it does hurt, a quite a bit... and i have only recently started having them.. Also, i don't have asthma, and the pains aren't constant, it only happens like, three-four times a day... anyone give me some help here?

Thanks.

I find that if you are feeling unexplainable unwell, seeing a doctor is the best course of action rather than discussing your pain and symptoms on a network site.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Yes, its too late at the moment in this day, and my brother said it might be muscle spasms? or something like that.

 

[Orcnet]

do you smoke?

 

[xDeathKnightx]

No, never have

 

[thelifelessone]

Talk to a doctor.

 

[fladdermasken]

Try punching it. If violence doesn't solve the problem, you aren't using enough.

 

[Silverfish423]

Yeah, I'd go see a doctor. But if you cannot right now, then I suggest applying some heat, light massage, etc. If it is muscle spasms, that shuld do the trick.

Talk to a doctor.

 

[Direfury]

Talk to an Exorcist.

What you have is acute phenomenical spinoplasty. You need to begin regularly ingesting 344mg of biphelondromide which can be found in dandelion heads.

Good luck.

They're muscle spasms. I have them every now and then, with each episode lasting several minutes. One time it lasted for an hour so I freaked out and called the ER. Turns out they couldn't do anything about it but I got an extension on a project

 

[Joe-black-5]

Well this question might help but not very since none of us is a doctor
How old are you? 14ish or 18ish

 

[xDeathKnightx]

16 yeah

 

[Joe-black-5]

1- Body growing, happens to some people (like my brother at late 15) his was on the right side though, saying left side is scary since it might be heart related
2- Muscle spasms, like hivers already said
3- God forbids, signs of a stroke? (don't know what are the signs, check google)

Talk to your mom and call a doc and take an appointment
the solution might turn out silly but better doing it than sorry.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Yeah, i was also worried about it being on the left side. My dad also said it might be muscle spasms but, his are on the right.. =/

had something similar some weeks ago aswell, was just muscle fever. Have you done some physical activities lately like carrying something really heavy??

 

[Crazed_seal2]

Have you been shot at lately?

If not, listen to the other people and go to a doctor.

 

[xDeathKnightx]

lol, and yes, i do a lot of heavy lifting in work.

 

[Zarathustra]

First of all, go to a doctor. Second, try not to worry.

Like pigs, humans have rib meat. I'm not going to comment on the taste, but suffice it to say that spasms and cramps of your intercostal muscles can feel like you're getting stabbed in the chest. Also, there's pleuritis... which has so many causes that it's not worth guessing over.

You know your body. If something is different, a health professional can help. Even if nothing is wrong, you'll get a bit of peace of mind.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Have you checked if you're lactating?

 

[Direfury]

Got milk?

 

[Vunjo]

It's perfectly normal for a hard-working guy that is 16 years old, especially if he lifts heavy objects. Try to relax, go to bed, and drink a lot of water. Don't do anything that will make you tired.

 

[TheKurt009]

i think i've had something like this before.
when i bend my back for so long then i breathe in very deeply it hurts.

 

[darkdeathknight]

Thats because your organs are going into one part of your body, and when your lungs expand, all your organs move, causing you pain.

 

[Adiktuz]

have experienced this too on the past weeks...

 

[Crazed_seal2]

If you dont want this to happen. Stop taunting people with guns.

btw. You could have a disease. Not likely.

 

[HINDYhat]

I've had something exactly like this (left side as well) for probably 15 years, and I'm not dead yet. I did go see a doctor when I was younger and he said it was nothing to worry about. I also asked my older brother and he said it was something that happened to him too, and it goes away.

If it gets significantly worse, you should see a doctor though.

had something similar
bending the back back solved it instantly (probably not the most natural move because you instinctively move the other way)
first I thought I had a heart attack lol
but since I am sitting like a monkey all day long I somehow adapted to it and it vanished

like this:

 

[Adiktuz]

yeah, I first experienced it after a long time of sitting in front of the comp...

 

[xDeathKnightx]

same

If it was heart related you wouldn't have sharp pains, it's muscle spasms.

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

I have this very existential question: Why in the first place... are you asking people-on-a-forum about your health and what you should do? Isn't it better to tell your parents, your doctor and he will tell better?

 

[Adiktuz]

because they might have experienced it too? of course its better to go see a specialist, but sometimes we tend to seek those who might have the same condition as us... ^_^

 

[xDeathKnightx]

Indeed, my parents don't believe me or listen to anything i tell them. They didn't believe me when i had double hernia... and besides, i can't be bothered waiting 4 weeks to goto the doctors, when i could ask on here and get information from people who too have experienced the same problems.
