Is it a sharp, stabbing pain in your chest and you can't take deep breaths? You have to take loads of quick, short breaths? And then it just goes away all of a sudden?

I have this! Doctor didn't know what was wrong with me... I had to go for heart scans and everything. Now they just think it is muscles spasming caused by stress.

it felt as if someting was lying on my chest. The pain was kind of like growing pains but further up. I found it heard to take deep breaths.

Hmm. Not sure if that's the same thing as me. I just get stabbing pains and it feels like I can't breathe. I can lasts betwen about 10 seconds and 5 minutes. Maybe you should get it checked out by doctor, just in case?

i've just been reading on www.ivillage.co.uk that pain in the chest, rapid heart beat, muscle ache and stomach problems are caused by stress.

i also had once or twice, that feeling like your ribs are locking in and compressing your chest, it goes as quickly as it comes. strangely, it only happens when i lie on my left hand side :confused:
