Like I have been belted!
 

I have woken up this morning and it feels as though someone has literally smashed me across the chest and back with a broom handle. It isn't "tight", it isn't compressing me, but god it hurts.

Any thoughts??

Thanking you :)

If I were you, I would go to the ER and make sure you
didn't have or are having a heart attack!!

Thanks Sally, I ended up going to my GP who phoned an ambulance and I spent the night in coronary care. Bit dramatic really. BUt it did hurt like a mongrel.

I'm home now, and know that it is categorically not related to my heart, so that's a positive :)

glad your dr played it safe. it must have been scary.
did they say what could have caused this?
