 I don't know if I should be concerned or if this is just normal. At first I thought it was just anxiety, but it's not the pain is worse and more intense. It only happens when I'm doing strenuous activities or under a lot of stress. ie: at work when I'm lifting cases of water, pop, kitty litter you know all those big items, when I'm walking long distances and it's really bad when I have sex. The pain starts in the middle of my chest and wraps around to my back. Sometimes there is pain in my arms and a tingling sensation in my fingers. The pain doesn't last, it comes and goes, this is why I thought it was anxiety at first.
 It's sad, but given my medical history I really don't want to go to the ER. It doesn't matter anymore what I go there for, the lable of having a mental illness is still there and that's how I'm treated. I'm never taken seriously. I have an apt. at the beginning of the month to see my family doctor, I'm going to mention it to him. But in the meantime, should I be worried? |
