Pain around my heart when I inhale?!


Question: Since last night I've been getting sharp pain near my heart every time I inhale, I've had this before but it's only lasted about a minute, this has lasted since last night and got so bad that I could barley breath my hands, legs, chest, and face started to go numb. I'm 17 and not sure what could be causing this. Help!!

Could be costochondritis...it's when the muscles between your ribs get inflammed. (Try to Google it) Nothing serious. Rest, Motrin and sometimes heat will help it. If you hold your breath when it pain or breath really fast you will get those other symptoms of going numb! If this all continues see your doctor.

well it might be heart burn so what you do is you inhale less air than you dehale giving your lungs and heart more carbondioxide and less oxygen. this is because the oxygen is filled with many bad chemicals causing a disruption within your body and causing slight pain. i hope this helps

Talk to a doctor about it! There are a lot of things that can cause pain in the chest area, including heartburn, but if you're having breathing problems and numbness it could be something more serious. At least call the doctor and ask; they might know what it is right away, but you want to be safe and be sure it's not something serious.
