Will post something that came to me, briefly (source unknown .. heh).
Had a Bittuva fright last Thusday night. Pains in chest again. Has happened b4 , but, as a male got through it. This time it went on fer too long. Couldn't breathe, sleep, sit up, or lie down. Ran out of Panadol. Rang Cousin at 4pm Friday night to see if he could bring more panadol. He did, pain settled down, but at 1am Saturday, pain still there so thought Fukkit, am not paying $600.00 fer Ambulance, rang Taxi and booked self into Flinders Medical.
Long story that one. First time experience with "Emergency Medical Care". They did their best, and at the end of five hours, am reasonably satisfied with what they do.
Wasn't heart, just some sort of stress related inflammation of the breastbone. Long story though, those five hours.
Ah, time.

Phew, had me worried for a minute. Take care, mate.
No real problems at this end, just experiences. Hope you keep BOTH ears intact, Vincent .. heh.
I had something similar, an inflammation of the cartilidge in the breastbone, it was called 'something' syndrome can't remember the 'something part. The doc said there was nought could be done about, and I'd get over it in about five weeks. The only reason he was able to diagnose it was because he'd had it too. Wish I could remember the name. My uncle called it 'Devil's Grip'; everytime I took a deep breath it hurt. I thought I was dying.
Yup, stress, the mind puts stress on organs leading you to think you have medical problems when you don't.
I quit going to doctors because they kept telling me that I'm as fit as a horse.
So when shit builds up too much too much I just say 'fuck it' and walk away and start feeling better soon.
But I've also learned how to handle stress better than most. Hugs.
You got chest pains and you think of only Panadol? If I get the same I will ask the missus to check me into Lahad Datu hospital pronto. Not that it will do any good. They don't have cardiologist here.
Note : I am an ex-patient of mitral valve stenosis in 2002. Now I am on so much heart related drugs that I made Smarties blush.
Um, Wombat, can't really say much in detailed reply.
Just listen to yer body. It will tell you what is important .. or not..
Cheers ...
