Hey guys! So just earlier, about an hour ago, I started feeling this sort of dull ache in the center of my chest. It's not enough that I show it but it is enough that it bothers me, on a scale from 1-10 it's maybe a 4 or 5. It gets worse if I lay on my back or breathe in deeply. I know I'm not going to get a real diagnosis here and I plan to see a doctor if it doesn't go away soon, but does anybody know what it could be?
Thanks
When you have chest pain, you go to the doctor. No exceptions.
Please don't delay, call and talk to the hospital. If you can't get anyone to take you immediately, they may suggest coming by ambulance.
This is one of those things you just do NOT mess around with. I speak from experience.
Waiting for chest pain to "go away soon" is a really bad idea. Sure, maybe it is nothing, and the doctor will be able to tell you that, and maybe it is something. If it is a big deal, then every minute you wait makes things worse for you.
Another user here, 15 years old, started birth control, developed blood clots from it, had chest pain... waited 3 days and had a heart attack.
Not saying this is you, not at all, but only a doctor can tell you what is going on.
