My sister is 29 years old. She has been complaining of feeling of heavy pressure on the chest, as if somebody was sitting on it. She also has numbing sensation in the mouth, the mouth feeling hot. Also pain in the back of the head just above the nape of the neck. She has been to the doctor several times, but all they say is that she has cought a chill. What could the real problem be?

Go to A and E. The symptoms are not conducive with a chill!

She needs a real DOCTOR OR THE EMERGENCY ROOM!! NOW!!! This could be something small, but what if she has a heart condition, alot of drs. r not aware that women have alot of symptoms that men do not have. Has she had blood wrk, ekg, family health issues discussed with her md, if not like I said she needs a doctor who will do all the above and more, please tell her to try and get a good referal for a dr. or how about starting with a talk with her obgyn, who may want to run hormone test, and who could help her get a doctor, personally I have no use for male doctors never had any luck with them, but have great women doctors, who really care and listen and ask queations, I have several health issues and other bad ones in my past and all were ignored by male doctors, one example yrs ago felt real bad . pale,tired,dizzy etc,my male dr, told me I looked fine and was dismissing me, I insisted he do blood wrk. good thing I did nxt day he calls me at wrk. and states I was hemoraging and without immediate surgery had a good chance of dying!!! See what I mean we tend to just accept what a doctor says I now know better, insist on being taken serious, if a doctor has no time to listen and ask questions, leave and get a new one, I have walked right out of a doctors office but thats another story, but end result was I was real ill again and it was a good thing I found a better doctor. Hope your sister is well, and if not I know with the right doctor she will be.

If the Doctor told her to take 1 asprin every 4 hours and call him later, I would consult another Doctor. Tell this quack to take a hike.

Take you sister to a hospital that specializes in cardiac care-not just any ER. They are more in tune to what is going on than a general ER. A cardiologist would be a good start!

I would say you are using your pc a lot and are bending over it to far, you should be comfortable when using keyboard. Sit up straight.
