Hi kiddo, You probably lifted wrong and tore the condracostal cartilage. It is the cartilage that connects the ribs to the Stern and other ribs. It is not serious but can be painful and worst of all the blood supply to the cartilage is minimal so healing is a slow process. Fortunately for you, you are young and the cartilage is still very supple and at its best for healing. No lifting until it heals. Go see a doc to be sure but you really have just described cartilage tear in the chest. you will be OK rest easy.
Condrotian and glucosomine will help to speed the healing process.
LOL Calm down! Don't be scared of your doctor. They exist to help you not harm you. Just go and let him/her check out whats wrong with you.
sounds like you pulled a muscle in your chest. Take ibuprophen (you can take up to 4 pills like Advil,) or Alleve...both are muscle relaxers and should help alot.
Call your doctor. It's probably nothing, but it's better to be sure.
If not a pulled muscle, it sounds to me like you might be having a panic attack. Try and relax (take a walk, have a cup of hot coco). And if you're overweight you really need to start improving your eating habits and stop lifting heavy objects until you're back in shape. Good luck!
If you are experiencing chest pains get it checked out very soon. Probably like you said, just a pulled muscle. But, be wise. Get it checked out. Think of how relieved you'll feel when the doc tells you it's just a pulled muscle.
You are very young to be experiencing an infarction. But it is not impossible. Is there any history of heart problems in your family? Do you indulge in any stimulants such as cocaine or MDMA/extasy or speed? These drugs can kill the heart! (and you) ! Is this why you are afraid to see the doc?
Don't worry! He has seen everything and will not do anything to hurt or trouble you.
I would talk to a close friend and have her accompany you to the doctor's so that you can have someone to talk with.
A pulled muscle should be immediately immobilized as a torn muscle is a serious and possibly disabling situation. There is one common symptom of a pulled muscle however: It'll hurt like hell when that muscle is flexed under load.
There is one common symptom if the muscle is torn:
Certain movements will 'put you through the ceiling' with pain,. This is your body trying to get the message to you, "STOP---don't move me again."
Hi there, I really think you should see you dr. They will most likely give you an EKG which is completly pain free. Basically, stick a bunch of stickers to you, then connect wires to you. The whole process takes about 5 minutes. Then, they will most likely have you do a stress test. All that is, is walking on a treadmill while you're hooked to monitors to see how you heart reacts to stress. You'll also have a basic physical...they will suggest you change your diet. Tell you to exercise more. You're very young so, the chances that you're having a heart attack is very slim but, you NEVER want to take chances. Good luck hun!
It could be a lot of different things
You could have pulled a muscle
You could be having anxiety attacks
You could have heart problems
my bet is on the muscles being pulled and taking Ibprofen or aleve should help but a visit to the doctor is a very good idea as they can see what really is wrong and even perscribe some nice muscle relaxers. Doctors are only there to help you and need to be trusted if they are going to be any good to you. If you dont trust your doctor maybe its time to find a new one
