hi, i have had sharp pains before. Not in the middle of the chest, but to my left and when i breath in or out it would get worse, but it slowly went away. No idea what it is. If you are not feeling any better, you need to see your doctor. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you....I freak out about the smallest things...my husband said I coukd have just gotten air And made it hurt. Who knows...ive had ekgs done and they are fine. A lot of times I make it worse by being so scared..I hate beinv like this. I wish that I woukd just let stuff slide. And not gey worked up about it

Unfortunately, it is easier said than done to let even the smallest of things just slide, especially when u are new mum. i was fine before i had my son!!!! Glad u are feeling better. have a cuddle with your child, that should calm u. Hugs

sounds like a pulled muscle. I get this all the time

Scared Silly,

Hi. Your story sounds similar to what happened to me almost two months ago. I had chest pain but it was on the left side of my chest, and it was tough to take a deep breath. After a trip to the ER, it turned out it was just inflammation in the chest wall. They told me to apply heat packs, (or I used ice packs) and take two motrin twice a day. It usually goes away in a couple days.

Of course, it is best to consult a doctor. Just to be safe. Hopefully this helps.

I've had chest pains a few times within that last few months. They always wake me up or hit just as I'm waking up. It is pain in the middle of my chest straight through to the middle of my back. It then would radiate around both sides of my chest as if it were being compressed and hurt more than anything I can even begin to describe. The "attacks" would last a few mins. each and then ease up. The whole process for me lasts anywhere from 15 mins. to an hour like this. When they finally stop, I am left with dull/aches in my arms and really bad in my left shoulder blade (still have that one now). The last one I had was a few weeks ago. It was so bad I really thought I was going to die. I went to the hospital and they said it was probably just inflammation of my stomach lining. I'm still not sure that's what it is, but everytime the middle of my chest or middle of my back starts to hurt, I start to pray. The internet is great and horrible at the same time. I did the same thing, but I did come one thing that I really think I'm having instead of the stomach lining thing. For me, I think what I'm having is Angina. But it is always a good thing to see your doctor if you think somethings wrong, off, or you can't stop thinking about it.

I hope this helps and if anyone else has gone through what I am, please share.

massage around your sternum...feel where the ribs attach...this is usually sore...doing this should relax this forgotten area where we hold stress.
