I went to the doctor y-day(around noon) because I was having chest pains. They started Wednesday evening around 7pm. The doctor did an Ekg and it was abnormal. She sent me to ER. ER did an Ekg and that was abnormal. since I was short of breath they gave me oxygen and pain meds and sent me home. They did a test for blood clots and that came back normal. But, I'm still having chest pains and it hurts to breath.

i have had a bad upper resp infection. then it went away, really rapidly like in the next two days, then my throat started killin me. well i put up with it for a day just because I thought it was a normal old sore throat. i was looking down my throat in a mirror and saw all these infected white looking spots, so i went back to my doctor and he was just like long time no see, in a very smartassy way, well he hardly looked at me, and just said did you fill the perscriptions i gave you? ( amoxicillion and proproxy-npap) and said well come back if its not gone by sunday, well, I have not eaten since like tuesday morning. i cant eat, my throat is sore and swollen. it feels like cutting in my throat when i even take a large drink of water. lol this is super long, anyways sorry. what can i do to make the pain go away, i have done salt and viniger water gargling, cough drops and mouthwash, chloreseptic doesnt last and i cant figure out what to do? i just want to be able to eat. thanks.

I have called my dr. and waiting for him to call back. Can't sleep at night from the terrible pain and diarreha. I had stent put in right artery one month ago, thus the mega 80mgs of lipitor. Taking Plavix also. Would Nexium taken right now help the damage that the lipitor caused? What else can I do right now to stop the pain and the diarreha? Have never had this kind of pain before and it scares me. Would appreciate any help from you. I have posted before and have gotten good advice. thank you.

This pains started when i ran after my son who missed his steps and almost fell off the stairs. I've been to the hospital several times and it wouldn't go. Presently, whenever I walk a short distance, no matter how short, it will be hell for me. Please what should I do.

I have deep pain on the left side of my chest and shoulder when I breathe, Burp or yawn...also, the left underside of my jaw is inexplicably sore. Any suggestions.

If you're going to say "Go to a doctor" -- I agree with you, I have an appt. for Next Monday....what I'm looking for until then are educated opinions on what it might be, from people who have experience with these symptoms...thanks!

I get this pain on the upper left side of my chest, right around my breast. It's pressure-like, congestion, squeezeness, tightness.
I notice that when I burp, the pain seems to go away, but a sec. later I'll continue to burp and I can go on burping all day to rid excess gas. I do believe it is GERD, an inflammation to my esophagus, being too narrow, etc.

I can breathe fine, no dizzyness, and i can stretch and bend over. When I touch the area sometimes as I am having the pain, my heart begins to beat faster, but that's prob. because I think I may be having a heart attack and I panic.

Sometimes I must even snap my arm to alleviate the pressure which radiates to my arm and shoulder. Anyone out there with similar pain? Knowledge? References?

I'd really appreaciate it.
Doctors have done the heart scan, EKG, and they say it's normal.

I do eat very fast and I am getting better at it.
I do eat greasy foods.
I do skip meals.

I have a 1Mhz ultrasound massager, sometimes I use it for pain and it seems that the place (like back and forearm) where I used it starts to hurt more than before, even if I only use it for some minutes, not in the strong mode. Sometimes I use it thinking of preventing pain, when I don't feel any pain, and I start to feel some pain afterwards, even after only 1 or 2 minutes using the ultrasound massager. Should I use it for more time then? Or not at all? I thought it was supposed to heal instead of making me hurt more... am I wrong? What's good about it then, when should I use it?
I'd also like to know if I can use it on my face and neck, for beauty purposes. If I can't, do you know the reason why?
Thank you

What could cause this? It can be painful at times, including right now at 1 a.m. keeping me from sleeping. Oh yeah, it is most noticeable when I am lying down. Please don't answer if you are not a licensed physician.

I've been stressing for the past three weeks, BADLY.
I started to get small headaches, but until Sunday (Sept. 2) hit, I got a huge migrane. Today is the 6th, and I still have this migraine. It runs from the top of my back to my neck, and my whole head.
I do get stiffneck often now, and my back does get stiff at some points. My whole body also gets sore sometimes.
I have taken tylenol, advil, and excedrin for migraines. Though they all haven't worked to reduce any pain whatsoever.
I am 15, I do have diabetes type 1, 5'3" and weigh 125.
What should I do, and what is there to do immediately?

I do not currently have health insurance and have a painful slipped disc. I'm allergic to NSAIDS, and looking for a strong pain reliever without costly doctor visits. Is this possible to do online?

Hey there. I'm a young guy, and I've recently started feeling sharp pains through my right armpit. After looking, I have a small little bump in my right armpit. It doesn't hurt all the time...I just get sharp pain sometimes.
