    Default pain in chest...heart?

    Everytime I breathe deep I get a fairly severe pain in the center/(slightly left) side of my chest. I get the same feeling (ten times worse) when I bend over slightly. This has been going on for several hours. Its too late to go see a doctor right now and I am young and consider myself to be healthy so I have no idea what could be causing this? has anyone experienced this before or have any ideas as to what it might be caused from?

    What have you eaten today? Anything spicy? Or perhaps have you not eaten very much today? It could very well be heartburn.

    Another thing it can be is a muscle cramp. Try hyperventilating gently for several minutes to oxygenate your system. That may help.

    i didn't eat anything spicy, but I have been eating a lot fewer calories over the past few days. I didn't know that could cause heartburn?

    Absolutely. Stomach acid with nothing better to do. I'd recommend eating something bread-like (sandwich, etc) to help absorb the acid. And see if you can increase the frequency of meals and eat more fruits and vegetables, so you are increasing the volume of food without raising the calories significantly. That should help.

    thanks! lol and i thought it was something serious...

    I just got my invisalign and its such a pain in the ass to take out every time i want a snack, and then have to floss/brush and put it back in. Im so used to eating small meals throughout the day whenever I have a free minute. Its just been easier to not eat and leave it in

    Also, not eating enough calories can cause chest/heart pain. Just an FYI.

    do you know how long it takes before it stops? Ive eaten a lot/my normal amount of calories today but have felt the same pain for over 24 hours now. Its almost like a soreness, and it feels like its covering a greater area now.

    the only other thing i did different is smoke a couple cigs the other night, and I never usually smoke those

    Usually if it's from lack of calories it stops in a day or so. Faster if you're eating protein. I'd advise seeing a doc if it's still bugging you.
