My chest has been constricting a number of times lately. It's not an acute pain, and it's not even that uncomfortable, but it feels like someone's pressing against my chest. Anyone can diagnose? Thanks! :) Hope it's not something bad.

My heart has been beating quite rapidly too... shucks it can't be the heart >

shucks...could it be...coronary heart disease? pls see a dr

[kingbitch]

Yeah I think I will! It's scary! My dad has this problem too

He's absolutely right. Do not walk, run to your GP and tell him you have chest discomfort. They will give you an EKG, probably, listen to your heart, and perhaps give you one of those running endurance tests to see how your heart is doing.

Do not let it go until it is too late. I have had a heart attack and, believe me, it is no fun at all.

Do you drink a lot of coffee/caffeinated drinks? You may want to lay off the caffeine for a while if so.

Wow yes, I have been having a lot of coffee.... eeks

Even after you've given up the caffeine, please get a checkup from your GP. My friend BK goes for an overal checkup each year and I can get him to give you the details in case you don't have a GP. Keep us posted. Hugs.
