oh sorry. It happens right through the day but mostly when i wake up. They are around my heart area, they happen like every hour or so. Some days i get them more than others. They last for around 2 minutes each time. I am a bit scared to go to the doctors just in case. Also i havent got a doctor in UNI can i just go to any one

Wait it out for a bit. When I got pluracy it got quite a bit worse pretty quickly so it was fairly obvious. Though I've also had a similar problem with inflamed intercostal muscles, and that just went. You'll realise if its anything serious.

Sounds pretty similar to the intercostal ****. Try some nurofen.

precordial catch pain? Like a knitting needle being forced through your heart - can't breathe in cos it kills? Can't breathe out cos it kills?

Nasty but harmless
