chest pains that wont go away!

Yeah.

I've had a cough for 3 weeks. It wont go away.
And today I am having extremely bad chest pains.

I quit smoking, so it isint the cause at the moment.
i'm really tense, and my heart is beating 1001231bpm.

what could it be?

I'm not sure what it is, but why don't you go see a doctor? They can probably help you more than anyone here. Better to check and be sure.

what could it be?
time to go to the doctor.
chest pains and excessive coughing without reason is never a good thing. serisouly, walk yourself to a clinic.

INSTALL LINUX

neoh · #14 (**permalink**) Jul 17, 04

^ it's been done, my problems still exist.

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

rawb · #15 (**permalink**) Jul 17, 04

maybe your chest is running in degraded mode.

try hooking up another aorta and designating it as a spare.

mount /dev/aorta /mnt/lung
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I went to the Dr.
They said the same as they all do.

"Here, take this - come back in a week if it doesen't fix it up."

I did that a week ago, Dr.

"Well try these ones."

Yeah ok. Dr's are A+ :y:

charly · #17 (**permalink**) Jul 17, 04

^ like i said, if you're doctor is an asshat, find a new one.

^agreed, but if I had to make a diagnoses I would say welcome to the world of anxiety attacks! population, umm lots

#19 (**permalink**) Jul 17, 04

sounds like your very sick obviously...and thinking about it so much is giving you anxiety attacks which is causing your heart to go 1223233bpm. ive been there i know.......either shut your trap & do us all a favour and go to the dr's....or breath and RELAX and don't mention it again. looks like we've all said what we think you need to do...so go do it.

Uve come down with the dissease thast called raver my friend

krisamata · #21 (**permalink**) Jul 18, 04

just becuse you've quit smoking doesnt mean its not the cause.

in fact...maybe your lungs and arteries and stuff are now trying to rid themselves of all the grossness thats been put into them for so long...causing a cough and perhaps even chest pains.

you can never fully reverse smoking...so dont rule that out.

you can also google your symptoms and self diagnose yourself hahaha

and as others have said it may just be an anxiety/panic attack

or maybe you're blood pressure has gone up really high due to stress, or complications from another med or whatnot...my mom feels like what you're describing (minus the coughing) when her blood pressure isnt good.

good luck...feel better

neoh · #22 (**permalink**) Jul 18, 04

meh. I did go to the doctor. I goto the doctor once a week, and try changing doctors and they all perscribe different things and tell me the same things.

but today I think I coughed once in the morning and no chest pains! A+ :y:

And as per anxiety attacks - yes, they feel like mild ones, I have them while driving sometimes (accident flashbacks, woo woo) but I don't stress that often.

neoh · #23 (**permalink**) Jul 18, 04

oh, and krisamata - I did do the google self-diagnose, not much out there really, chest pains and coughing could be anything, right? And I did figure it was my lungs coughing the shit out, and I am glad it's doing it for that purpose.

And I checked my blood pressure the other day and i'm perfect.

My mother on the other hand was about 190. :( :( :(
