Hey amanda

Could it be indigestion? I get really awful chest pains when I have indigestion, and mine normally comes in bouts, so I will suffer for a few days every couple of months.
I am quite an achy person anyway.

perhaps get in touch with your doctor hun and get it checked out

I get a lot of chest pains and I also think it's trapped wind, maybe drink something like coke to try and get it out. You're absolutely fine. The chest pain could be being prolonged simply by you over-concentrating on it, because that can 'amplify' symptoms that are really harmless.
Also chest pain can come from a bra that is too tight.

Amanda,

Why don't you give NHS DIRECT a call, they're very helpful and it will put your mind at rest.

best wishes
