Ok, now I know lots of people have posted similar, but I just need a little help here. As always, I worry more at the weekend, as the doctors is closed, and my hubby is away too.
My chest so tight in the centre, right between my breasts, it's really painful. So, though I am breathing from the abdomen as much as possible, it's really scary.
I'm now at the what ifs stage. I've had this pain for over a week in a greater or lesser amount, it's stopping me sleeping. I tell myself I'm still alive so obviously it's not a heart attack. Then my darker side says, yet but this time it could be! Then I start to feel even worse. I am not short of breath, or suffering any other pain, except at my ribs on and off towards my sides.
I am aware that female heart attack symptoms are different to male, and that women don't always recognise their symptoms as a heart attack. So I wonder what if I'm one of those and I should go to the doctor?? I don't like what ifs, and really would like to be among friends. :weep:
