What are the symptoms of a heart attack?
Its been a couple of years, since I gained 150lb, that I am having sharp chest pain. It lasts a second. Sometimes more and I have to get up from my bed for it to go away. Its like clogging arteries. It feels like if a knife is cutting my areteries. It happens about 5% of time of my day.
I am taking meds for hypertension and high cholesterol. I am supposed to do a blood test but I can’t now because of the virus. I was supposed to do it in January. I don’t like doing blood tests because I have to wait 4+hours sometimes outside -35C in the winter.
I don’t know what it is then, maybe the lungs?
I need to talk about it with my dr but now with the corona there is no way. I also hate doctors because I have to wait 1-2h even if I have an apt. That’s how it is in Canada. At least health care is free.
It goes away after a couple of seconds. Sometimes I can’t breath so I am starting to think that its lung related. Both my grandfathers died early because of lung cancer.
Okay I don’t think it’s anything deadly. It’s gonna hurt but you have to try your best to breathe deeply. Also drinking water helps me. You should probably call a doctor though.
I highly recommend talking to a doctor before you freak yourself out. I have this symptom and it’s been going on for years, so it may not have any relation to any disease.
@Sardonic is right. Sometimes I get little sharp pains in my chest that get worse with breathing. The pain only lasts a short while. I akin them to chest cramps. The way I get rid of them is by taking a deep, long breath when I get a pain. This stretches the chest muscle involved in the cramp and eases out the cramp and the pain goes away.
Yes, this it what I’m talking about. I think it’s safe to say that we’re all discussing the same thing? Don’t worry, you’re likely not in any danger. Just breathe and hydrate.
Weird cramps, I haven’t done any exercise and I have cramps. I guess its the breathing muscles like the diaphragme? I will ask my dr probably in june if they still take appointments now.
I just hope its not heart or lung related as both family sides have history of cancer and heart attacks.
