Smokers chest pains?

[Patsheba]

I agree with Birdgirl. Diet and exercise. Down the chest center is usually colon, when I've been seen by emergency while having those pains acutely, I have been diagnosed with ulcers, colonitis, spastic colon (and possible IBS), and acid reflux disease.

Yoga is a very effective exercise for all these problems.

And altho not intoxicating, eating a dose really helps to relax too.

Ok fine I'm just gonna put everything aside and during the break I'm gonna make it a priority to go get a check up. I want to know why I have this pain and why it's so strange. It's like when I smoke I don't feel it, when I breath..even deeply, I don't feel it. But sometimes it just randomly comes up or when I'm doing push-ups I can feel it but that's about it. It's strange, I just wanna know what it is. I have to go...what ever I have avoiding the doctor isn't gonna make it go away and even if I do go the only thing they are doing is confirming what I already had in the first place if it's anything. I'm gonna go...

The fact that you feel it when you're doing push-ups makes me wonder if it's just a sore muscle, Orangeman. Do you get it when you're doing other types of exercise? You're awfully young to be having digestive troubles like reflux or other things like that, but sometimes gallbladder disease hurts in the center of people's chests, too, but that's usually after meals.

I'm glad you're going to get a checkup. I'll believe that when I see it, but I'm glad you're going to do that. You'll feel better once that's over, and I promise you no one's going to tell you you have a terminal disease.
