I have a horrible burning feeling on the upper left side of my chest. It's been going on for about 30 minutes now and hurts worse when I move or bend down. What is this? I've already taken a rolaid but that did not help. It is also really hard to breathe. Please help!

It is probably nothing, but I would seek medical attention, CHEST PAIN IS NOTHING TO FOOL AROUND WITH. Heart attacks, asthma attacks, all feel different to almost anyone who suffers from them. Go to the ER now.

Hi. Firstly, and i know this may be hard to do when you are experiencing symptoms like this, but try not to panic. Panicing can often make your symptoms worse or exaggerate how bad they really are. I would recommend you to talk to your doctor as soon as you can about your symptoms to rule out heart attack or even angina (a condition caused by a build up of plaque in the arteries in the heart, restricting blood flow). They will also be able to make sure you have no heart irregularities that could be causing the palpitations, but please don't read this and think you have all these things. This is just a precaution. You mentioned you have fibromyalgia, i have done some research and i hope this helps put you at ease. "Fibromyalgia are chronic, widespread pain and tenderness to light touch.......may also experience heightened sensitivity of the skin (also called allodynia), tingling of the skin (often needle-like), achiness in the muscle tissues, prolonged muscle spasms, weakness in the limbs, and nerve pain.......pain may also be localized in areas such as the shoulders, neck, low back, hips, or other areas" Further information indicates that different fibromyalgia patient suffers from different or varied symptoms. Of course i would still make an appointment with your doctor to have a definitive answer, but i hope this gives you peace of mind for now. Good luck. ^ _ ^

I would first see a doctor. However my preliminarily guess would be heart burn or stomach acid from something you ate. The pains from heart burn could very much resemble a heart attach. Pains radiating down your arm and trouble breathing. Still this a hunch, I would go and see a doctor. Besides I don't know how old you are and your overall body composition to make a adequate resolution. good Luck

Time to take a trip to the ER just in case it's a heart attack.
