I've discovered that my pain is chest WALL pain, not CHEST pain. It's something called costochondritis, and it's an inflammation in the area where the ribs join the breastbone - you can quickly rule it out by pressing hard at each joint up both sides of the breastbone. It hurts to bend forward too, as well as trying to sleep laying down. The treatment is ibuprofen. I've found that if I do a lot of rotary cutting it flares up.... Hopefully, the docs can diagnose your pain soon, so you can learn how to avoid it, or treat it quickly!Quilting with Jannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603960654710134226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-61286357596538197152011-07-10T03:26:25.345-05:002011-07-10T03:26:25.345-05:00It must have been pretty uncomfortable for you to ...It must have been pretty uncomfortable for you to decide to go to the clinic, but it's good to hear that your heart is in tip-top condition. Could it be something like a pulled intercostal muscle?

I'm out of shape, but I sometimes have flutters and/or pain midline chest as I have a small hiatal hernia, and keeping hydrated helps. Lack of hydration and stress set me off, so drink more water with the stresses you have going on! I found out the hard way doing the ER trip in the middle of the night - hubby was out of town...so I got the ambulance ride.Kathy in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098188966699812367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-36239651745127023922011-07-09T07:54:15.127-05:002011-07-09T07:54:15.127-05:00Hey there!!

That's the main thing!<br />Now: I've done soft tissue chronic pain/acute injury work for 23 years & I'd definitely recommend finding a NeuroMuscular Therapist in your area who has some Myofascial Release training!!<br />You can find an NMT by looking on Dr. Upledger's website at www.iahp.com Lookin the practicioner directory for someone who has NMT 1-4 after their name. Then, when you are phone shopping people, ask them if they have had some Myofascial training as well.<br />Good luck & good health to all!!skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11335377567158914606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-79830587164051985412011-07-08T15:18:04.293-05:002011-07-08T15:18:04.293-05:00Glad to hear that things are OK!!!

We had been traveling for about two days till we finally got to his place. That night I was sure I was having a heart attack! I had to sit straight up in bed, couldn't take a deep breath, couldn't even move, very similar to what you've described. Of course I didn't wake anyone up...just sat there thinking "I don't want to DIE in Kansas!" You know how things that happen in the middle of the night are way worse! I think it was a combination of stiff muscles, poor eating on the road and just all around stress. It finally passed but very scary.<br />Enjoy the P & Q for the next few days!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638230808410270244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696148984760771156.post-26021460765882845022011-07-07T19:08:07.140-05:002011-07-07T19:08:07.140-05:00I'm so glad you went to the Doctors and they c...I'm so glad you went to the Doctors and they checked you out - even though it was traumatic and emotional.
