Wow! That's scary  Buggedout . Hope you feel better. Must have been frightening stuff. Around January last year I had a similar fright but unlike you, I did not experience chest or back pain but I felt generally lousy and went to the hospital just to see the doctor on call. I ended up fainting in the waiting room. Apparently my temperature had shot right up. I really thought I might be going to die I felt so sick but it turned out I had pneumonia on my chest. I ended up spending the night in the hospital after they discovered I had some chest aberrations and they were worried at the time it might be my heart. In reality I was suffering from a severe acid reflux buildup and I had pneumonia which later became full blown. It was one of the sickest times I've ever been in my life. The medication the doctor gave me basically made me vomit up on the stuff on my chest every morning for about a week but I felt better after that. Anyways your situation sounds different than mine but that stuff really makes you think and reflect and be thankful to still be here and want to work more towards staying here longer.

Aw, that sounds terrible. Take it easy until you and the doctors are sure that everything's healed, okay?

Sorry to hear you're not well. Rest, take it easy, put on your bright pink Forever Lazy jumper, and try not to get into any fights.  Smile

This reminds me of when I had my heart surgery. I had just showered and was getting ready to go to church when I felt serious pain in the right side of my jaw and shoulder. I too decided that I'd slept wrong and tried to ignore it. Well,something in the back of my head told me to go to the hospital so I did. Turns out it was a minor heart attack and they shipped me down to Waco for a test....I had 5 bypasses done two days later. I sure didn't see it coming but I'm glad it was one of those small "wake up,stupid!" attacks and not the major one they said wouldn't have been too far away.

When that happened to me it was a result of doing pectoral flys with too much weight; and it was avoidable if I had just used some common sense.

The pain went on for a few months, and in the first few weeks of it happening it sometimes hurt to drive. The best thing for it was keeping ice on it.

I don't know if you have experienced this with your's, but I could hear and feel my heartbeats more pronounced, much more, and it made it quite difficult at times to get to sleep.

Unfortunately a chest injury as such pretty much has to take its own time in healing; you can't immobilize the chest, put a cast on it or anything like that.

Be careful with the anti-inflammatory medicine. It certainly is going to help, but always, always take it with food, and not just a snack.

NSAIDs can cause stomach bleeding, as they did with me with my recent shoulder injury. Even though I took them when I had something to eat, they still got me and in addition to the shoulder injury I'm having to take medicine for my stomach.

Just make certain you eat and eat well when you take them.

Thanks Menard, I will. I was a bit bit wary about taking them anyway initially, because I do always seem to suffer from side-effects of medication quite easily. It does just feel like my heart is beating really hard against my chest and my whole ribcage seems to ache when I breathe. I did sleep better last night, than the night before though.
