Chest pain???

So i really over did it today..I know not the smartest decision. I did grocery shopping, Christmas shopping, 2 haircuts 2 loads of laundry, changed sheets and cleaned 2 houses (1 was my own 1 was my neighbors) oh and my son is sick

With doing all that I know I will have pain and I do. My question is I have chest pain I have never felt before. I definitely do not think it is heart related...I can not take a breath with out my chest hurting?? If I breath in and hold my breath the pain stays. When I breath out it goes away?

I'm thinking maybe muscular??? It started about 4 hours ago. Anyone have this?? It is in the center and just over a little on my right side??

Thanks!!!
Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. I have a week off from work

If you press around and you hit a spot that makes the pain worse it is muscular or costochondritis (chest wall pain). This is very common with
fmer's. I have it for years and I have been checked by a cardio and had gone to the E R with the pain, I was checked well and when the dr. pushed around on my chest I could have kicked him, wow did that hurt. You can't reproduce heart pain by pushing, this is the test the cardio told me to do but he also said if in doubt head to the E R..

I really never took notice that breathing eased or made it worse but I am sure it would as you are moving the chest wall. I sometimes can flare mine just by reaching for something.

Yup very tender!! Thanks guys! I wouldn't have known to try that. I'm going to go read info in the Fibro 101.

I actually don't feel too bad considering everything I did yesterday.

Thanks again. I love this place!!!!

Do you have acid reflux? This can make your chest hurt, too. And cold water helps...at least it does for me. With costo, my chest and ribs hurt and sometimes it's difficult to breathe. But I will try the cold water next time. My doctor has me taking ibuprofen for costo.
