I have been having constant chest pain sinc Friday. It feels like there is a fist pressing on my breast bone, makng it hard to get enough breath some times.

My grandmother and my bf say it is gas. My friend says it is probably anxiety.

Can gas cause chest pain?

I feel like I'm half asleep all of the time. I'm Angry, moody, and flustered 75% of the time. I can't think striaght or make decisions. I don't feel like doing anything! I've been drinking a lot, which is probably not helping.
I had a miscarriage 5 months ago, which is probably a big factor in how I feel, but this has come and gone my entire life.
I don't know if its hormonal, chemical, or just pshycological.
I don't know how to explain this all to my doctor without him automatically jumping to the conclusion that I need to be medicated. I would try it as a last resort, as i do realize that it can be helpful in some cases. I'm just worried that I might never be the same again afyter trying it.
Any thoughts?

At any time i have to go to sleep, i work out for like 20 mins (pullups, pushups, lifting, bicep curls usually), then i sleep like a baby in like 5 mins after i hit the bed... Is this healthy, or bad. I don't build up adrenaline or anything, i just go to sleep easier. And i want to start drinking a "whey protein" shake right before i work out, then work out, then sleep. While i sleep, muscles grow, don't they?

Is there any way that I can get taller because I'm short for my age , I'm barely even 5 feet and most people in my classes are about 5 feet 5 inches. I don't feel like I'm getting any taller. I know that you have to get at least 8 hours of sleep so that... But I usually sleep about 5 hours. Is there any way that i can get taller NATURALLY? Not like in a month, but just like in 3-4 years. I'M DESPARATE!!!!

I lost my period for 6 months, I think from stress (it's back now, but still irregular). When I was given provera after 4 months with no period, I barely, barely spotted. I didn't get a period until I went on antidepressants to help with my anxiety disorder. This sounds like hypothalamic amenorrhea to me, but I don't know---can women with HA bleed from provera?

In the last month, twice I've woken up in the middle of the night choking like crazy, then have to keep coughing to clear up my windpipe and get my breath back. Is this something to worry about or does it happen every now and then? Oh and what should I do if this happens again in the night because I sleep alone and there will be no one to help me get my breath back etc.
