That's the answer to the question I posed last week, "Paranoid or dying?" (in case you're wondering).
Thankfully, I am neither.
I went to the doctor (luckily I was due for my annual check up) and told her I had been having chest pains. She asked me where it hurt, and determined it was most likely from irritation of the muscles and nerves around my ribcage. Weird, right?
Well, it makes sense, and just knowing that makes me so much more relaxed. I seriously thought I was having a heart attack. Crazy, right?
I'm on regular doses of Ibuprofin for this week and hopefully that will calm it down. The doc said it could be caused by heavy breathing from exercise. Not that I had really been exercising all that much when it flared up...
Well, I'm just relieved I don't need a heart transplant or anything.
