    concerned about my chest pains, and I am only 28!
    I am going to try to make this as short as possible. Back in November I started to get these chest pains on my left side and my breathing seemed like it was more shallow. I would have a difficult time breathing and would get kind of hot and feel like I am suffocating. Well, I went to the ER and come to find out I had pulmonary in my left lung. They gave me antibiotics and sent me on my way. I took everything as directed! Well a couple of weeks later it all came back and ever since I have had these problems. The chest pains are above the breast, to the left of the breast and in my back like right behind where my breast is. Walking or exercise makes it worse. It will last for awhile then go away for a little while and so on. My breathing is still effected also. I can't walk u stairs or walk and talk sometimes without being completely out of breath. Also my skin to the touch in the areas named above is sensitive to the touch. I also have a hard time touching my skin or more like pressing on it without it hurting. Also I have been seeing these transparent squiggly lines in my eyes associated with headaches, and I am not sure if that coincides with the chest pains but symptoms came on not to long after.

    The pains are more like pinching feelings and tightness. I have had ekg's X-rays, and CT done and they came back normal. This is taking over my life, because now that I do not smoke I want to take full advantage of being a non- smoker, like being able to work out without smelling like cigarettes, and being out of breath! I have been a non smoker now for 8 month and these symptoms came on 2 months after I quit. It almost seems like I had better luck as a smoker...

    Thanks for the help... I have been to the doc. But I guess I am not having any luck with a doc. That is willing to dig into this. I feel like this is taking over my life and I want to work out and maintain my health and lose weight by exercise, but this is really holding me back! I have no health insurance so I feel like if something is wrong I have to live with it until it kills me because I can no longer seek medical help. My husband does not believe me when I tell him what is wrong he says its heart burn, but BELIEVE me this is no heart burn! I feel this pinching feeling all day every day some days are worse then others.
