Sorry to hear that you are still having that. I don't know what it could be. Maybe a pulled muscle? I am glad you are going to the doc to see about it. You have had it for too long to be a muscle spasm. I hope it gets feeling better soon. Call me after you go to the doc tomorrow. I am gonna go back to bed and try and sleep off my pain from having a seizure last night. Hope you sleep well.

A muscle spasm! I got this like Friday in my chest, went to my PCP just in case. She did all the tests, including a chest x-ray because of my mother's history of pulmonary embellism (blood clot in the lungs). Everything came out fine, thank god! I wasn't too worried though, I actually laughed when they put the ECG machine on me, saying that there was nothing wrong with my heart doc! lol
Apparently I was doing exercises that pulled the chest muscle!
