I have a pain in the middle of my chest. Been there for about 3 weeks, thought it was a pulled muscle. Only when I turn a certain way or breathe while twisting my body do I feel it. It's a pain, not excruciating, really uncomfortable.
Don't want to go to a doctor yet. I know that is so stupid! What does it feel like? How do you know to go a get checked? What makes you feel like something is wrong? I have 3 babies 5 and under, thinking about this is driving me nuts! Just want to know.......How did you know? Before the doctors, what made you go there? Thank you:) Posted on 07/10/09, 10:07 am |

I can't tell you what you have but lung cancer is less likely. Chest pain is one of the last symptoms and generally accompanied by shortness of breath. You probably should go to a doctor because it could be a torn muscle or something else requiring prompt attention.

Its worth a doctor's visit just for peace of mind! Usually, lung cancer presents with a persistent cough.

Went to the hospital, it's just an inflamation of the bone near the sternum. So sorry to sound like such a whimp:)
I had an Uncle (very close) die of brain cancer. I think everytime I get a pain......I think it's cancer. So dumb! Thanks for your comments. xx
