there u have it.Originally posted by bluewinged:nope..not asthma history not over weight. unfit ya
how about ur cholestrol levels?
well, nth much la..just the possibility of ur arteries getting constricted and clog up during streneous activities leading to ashmatic reactions
Nothing much to worry about, at least you die eating those unhealthy foods you love 
-
sometiems i have dat..there are muscles inbetween your ribs...sometimes due to improper posture or watever...u tend to strain it...then when ur rib cage goes out and in, the strained muscles will cause sharp pain...one way to stop it is do cobras, meaning u lie on ur bed face down and arch backward slowly and carefull to stretch ur rib area. go see doctor, polyclinic...do ECG...to play safe and its not very ex lor...to play safe

i have it too..its like my chest muscles suddenly contracts and i will a pain in the chest area..but lasts for a few secs..

Ya i have it too, at least once every few months. I'm not overweight, just eat alot of junk food when im slacking and i run 4km every 2 days. Dunno why also?

i checked with a lot of people, most of them feels it.Originally posted by pqr:is not normal i say

Not being fat doesn't mean you are clear of possible blood circulatory related diseases.
Its a general misconception.
Our blood circulatory system accumulates bad cholesterol which may lead to heart diseases, and in turn leading to heart attack.
Nowadays, most people still don't exercise, eat all those junk food and other unhealthy but nice cusine.
We should exercise more to cancel the accumulation of our bad cholesterol. -
The other factors are possible, not sure about asthma.Originally posted by Toblerone:are u ashmatic? overweight or unfit?
Does this happen after exercising? If it happens after exercising, you better have a checkup. Not a good sign. -
ic.. thanks all for your help.

I am really sorry for this late reaction. I have overseen your thread. The other mods have disappeared and I am very busy till february.
I have to ask you few questions about your problem.
How often does it happen?
a) Is the pain inside your chest or b) is it more like pain in the muscles around the ribs?
if a) -> in which part of the chest is it located?
How long does it take?
When the pain disappears, can you breath normally? or What disappears first, the pain or the inabiltiy to breath or do they leave both same time?
Does it happen in certain situations like during physical activity, or when you are resting or excited or any time? -
It is not stupid .Originally posted by bluewinged:i got a qns to ask. can anyone tell me why at times all of the sudden i will feel this sharp pain in my chest den i can breathe properly.wad are the possible cause of this sharp pain?is it serious? sry if i've asked a stupid qns.
First if the pain happens on the left side and radiates to the left arm - Go see a doctor immediately- that is likely to be a heart attack. And if you are above 50 and feels like gastritis ( pain happens in the middle of your tummy) - go see the doctor as well . Get short of breath and then chest pain on exercise or after - go see the doctor.
Have you been under stress lately? Any history of gastritis? Sometimes it could be those if you are reasonable young ( below 30) .
Does the pain hurt more when you breathe in deeply and doesn't hurt when u breath out - that could be just a rub in between the ribs and ur pleura ( lung covering) or just the muscular pain around that region - nothing much you can do about that . You can take panadol for that .
Whatever it is , better to seek medical advice than ask on the forums - sometimes people can give wrong advice

Chest pain of heart attacks are more likely to be central, behind the sternum or breastbone, rather than on one side. Yes, the pain can certainly radiate or run to the left arm but that is not invariable. The pain can be bad but is constant.Originally posted by fymk:First if the pain happens on the left side and radiates to the left arm - Go see a doctor immediately- that is likely to be a heart attack.
Muscular pain arising from the chest wall is common. It tends to be sharp, brief and may be worse when you take a deep breath, as with conditions such as pleurisy due to inflammation of the lung linings.
Your doctor will have a good idea as to the cause by taking a careful history and a physical examination but it is always worthwhile to do an ECG to make sure it is not cardiac in origin. -
i once complained of chest pains with shortness of breathe then by the time an ecg was done, i was feeling ok.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:Chest pain of heart attacks are more likely to be central, behind the sternum or breastbone, rather than on one side.

question is, does an ecg long after chest pains pick up anything? -
Depends if the chest pain with shortness of breath was caused due to chest muscle cramp or something more serious what caused lasting effects. If it was something serious, there would be visible changes in the ECG.Originally posted by bismarck:i once complained of chest pains with shortness of breathe then by the time an ecg was done, i was feeling ok.

I get them from time to time too. I cant breathe at all, if not it will hurt very painfully.
I have to hold my breathe and breathe slowly, to test if the pain is still there, got once i almost suffocate cos the pain seemed to last longer than usual.
I dunno if there is a need to see doctor not >.< -
Yes you should see a doctor to find out if it is something serious like asthma or your heart.Originally posted by uaremyfayth:I get them from time to time too. I cant breathe at all, if not it will hurt very painfully.

That can occur at times and that's why doctors may order a treadmill test to see if ECG abnormalities develop with exercise. Sometimes we may put a patient on a continuous ECG monitoring device which he can carry around like a pager. We will then be able to detect transient arrhythmia that might have resolved by the time the patient sees the doctor.Originally posted by bismarck:i once complained of chest pains with shortness of breathe then by the time an ecg was done, i was feeling ok.

i went for a threadmill by a specialist i saw outside and when the tech asked me if i still felt chest pains after running i said no, which wasnt accurate because i was quite stoned plus i couldnt tell the diff between actual chest pains and so called 'residual' chest pains frm the start.Originally posted by oxford mushroom:That can occur at times and that's why doctors may order a treadmill test to see if ECG abnormalities develop with exercise.

he concluded that my chest pains maybe muscular and my heart pounding is just mildly irregular heartbeats at rest that auto corrects itself at high beat rate.
