Relax, and see your specialist on Monday. If it has gone on this long it can wait a few more hours. Take an aspirin.
Quit "trying" to make that sound happen and getting all upset. If you go to the E.R. you will get a long wait, hefty charge and be told to see your specialist on Monday and he will have a new set of tests that he might run and before you know it you'll get the bill for everything and pass out with a real heart attack. Go to bed!
EMERGENCY ROOM, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sounds like your catching pneumonia, i would go to the emergency room right away, if you tell them your having chest pain they will admit you right away, they wont make you wait in the waiting room
do u have difficulty speaking, dizziness, swallowing, breathing then go to call the ambulance
go to the E.R my dad had congestive heeart disease, and always started wheezing just before a heart attack! he had 7 before the 1 that took his life. i'll pray for you.
even thought it sounds like a drag i would stop siting at your computer waiting for answer go to the ER i would have already left go go go go
well a lot of things could be taking place. it sounds a lot like your lungs though. your pulmonary valve is connected to your lungs. if you have a puncture of some sort it can be fatal. i would seriously go to the hospital ASAP and not take any risks especially when it comes to your health.
Sounds like you have CHF which is also known as Congestive Heart Failure. You need to go to the ER if it is they will give you some lasix and you should be fine but once you have this you will never get rid of it and as you get older it will only get worse. I hope you are ok. I will keep you in my prayers.
Wow, it depends on so many things. If your age is over 30, if you're overweight, have hi blood pressure, stuff like that. This, of course is one of the signs for heart attack but If you've had this chest pain for over a yr, I would say it isn't. The rumbling in your lung is not normal at all. I'd say you need to go to the emergency if you can't breathe well. You could get worse as time passes and you don't want to wait till it does. If it's the money, as it is for a lot of us, and you can't pay, try to wait till 6-8am but not if you have too much trouble breathing, no money can be that important.
Good luck to you, I'll say a lil' prayer for you. It would be a good idea if You said one too. One more thing though, don't take any advice from answers too seriously, I'm a Clinical Medical Assistant but not a doctor....Tink
Why would you sit around and take a risk with your health or your life? GO.
Okay-- just to clarify things-- just because you go to ER and say you have chest pain, you do NOT get to go directly back if there is a wait-- they look at many factors, not just the fact that you have chest pain--- 1) you are 19 2) the pain has been present for over a year 3) you have an appointment with a specialist in Monday 4) You have no history of infarction/congestive heart failure/ SVT or sudden cardiac arrest (from what you are saying)
What they are going to do if you go to the ER, check you in and ask you a bunch of questions-- see all of the answers above, they will do an EKG, they will draw bloodwork (which you will have to wait a minimum of two hours for results) you will have an IV with some fluids running--
They will probably give you an anti inflammatory medication called Toradol, and do a chest xray===
Unless you have severe chest pain that is unrelieved by cardiac medications, or respiratory distress that is severe enough to decrease your oxygen saturations, it is a waste of your time and an extremely large expense (not to mention a long wait) to go to the ER--
It sounds to me from what you are describing, since it is a new symptom, that you might have one of the many upper respiratory infections that is going around currently (along with the vomiting/diarrhea stuff going around) -- my best advice to you, is that unless you are seriously concerned that this could be something life threatening-- I would wait and go to an urgent care tomorrow (make sure you tell them the above information you told already) If it is a viral respiratory infection, they won't even give you antibiotics-- If it is bacterial, they will put you on antibiotics--
I would suggest you drink lots of fluid, put a cool mist humidifier by your bed, prop your pillows so that you can sleep with your chest and head somewhat elevated, and take some Ibuprofen/Tylenol, and maybe some Guafenesin--
If you have a bronchitis when you go, they may give you an inhaler--
