Persistant Chest Pains
Asked Jun 4, 2010, 07:47 AM
—
44 Answers For about a year or two, I've been having chest pains. It's directly in the center of my chest and the best way I can describe it is the plates of the earth's crust, how they press together, only it feels like that in my chest. I've tried ignoring it, and that usually works. I've tried taking tylenol and other things like that. It has no effect. The pains are random and can stop for weeks to a month at a time. What could this be? |

I somewhat understand your concern. But not in this case. This is not the removal of a wart, or slight swelling on a finger. Try writing a letter to your newspaper editor concerning your issue with the healthcare system. Instead of trying to instill good values in someone else's child. She didn't come here for life values. She came here for help with CHEST PAINS. You know nothing of this young lady, and her habits. Raise your own children if you have any, and please stick to the question at hand. And yes, I do see that you are trying to help. And I see that you are a new member. But you are not a doctor. And that's the most important thing here. | ||||

| JBuzz...You are apparently not a doctor. I don't think you're a nurse. I don't believe you are a car salesman. What is puzzling to me is you seem to know a lot about nothing. If you were having chest pains, I"ll bet my Granny's bloomers you would be at the ER in ten minutes. If you were the one paying for this young ladys ER visit..then you would have a reason to gripe. You're not. Her parents I'm quite sure are capable of doing that. You have grown offensive when someone doesn't agree with you and I've learned from the few months I've been here you need to learn when to curb your temper. This is an Ask Me Help Desk and there are many good people here who know exactly what they"re talking about. Think before you respond. I've had to do that many times.... | ||||

I'm going off topic and I admit it - it is easy to become offended if you start out waiting to be offended. I appreciate that this site is purely the "typed" word, no facial expressions, no voice inflections, nothing like that. I have become offended and PM'd "What is this?" and found out that no offense was intended. Maybe it's happened to all of us. The secret (I think) is staying in communication, not holding a grudge, dropping "it" when it's over, not continuing a feud with veiled (or semi-veiled) references and having mutual respect. Kit, I was so concerned when I answered the "photo on the casket" thread you posted that I PM'd you in advance - fortunately you had already read it and appreciated the humor and where I was coming from. (In fact, you enjoyed my comment as much as I enjoyed your post.) It's all about TRYING to remain calm (and I admit I very often do not). You get back the attitude you dish out - once I got called the Queen Bee by this person, all gloves were off. | ||||

| This is chronic pain existing for approximately 2 years now. It also is in the middle of the rib cage suggestive of possibly acid reflux or even simple gas. This is NOT a medical emergency since it is chronic and sporadic. Too many people use the ER for a doctor's office, I see it every night while I work. While they are symptomatic during the day, they frequently wait until the offices are closed and come to the ER only to be told to contact their primary care giver in the morning during office hours. If this were not chronic or sporadic, that would be a different story, but considering Emop's age and the length and timing of the symptoms, she would be safe to wait to see her doctor. | ||||

| J_9 ...I'm glad you posted. You are a nurse and you do know what you're talking about. For someone to give someone advice....when they don't know what their talking about is very dangerous. It would be like me answering a question in "how to fix a car".JBuzzy has been extremely rude to people on other threads. I'm glad someone in the professional medical field did respond. You are a very good nurse and you always give sound professional advice. You do know the ins and outs of the medical field. I don't think JBuzzyshould give medical advice unless, like you, he knows what he's talking about. I don't think he knows anymore about the medical field then I do. I know nothing about it. Not to say I have never answered a question in a field I know nothing about. I have. Glad you posted. ....My concern was Jbuzzy seemed to care more about the cost than the kid. | ||||
