Anyone a doctor? I just got chest pains and cant move my neck. help

[lizium]

Around noon yeasterday i felt a slight pressure on my chest. By evening it has worsened, it really hurt to talk loud or laugh, etc... By 10pm my throat started hurting, trouble swallowing. I went to bed, woke up now and chest pains have lessened dramatically BUT my neck is killing me. When i move it around, i hear popping/cracking sounds, and it hurts. The pain is more like a sore muscle/pressure, and not sharp. My throat still hurts...

Anyone know wtf this migh be? It hasnt even been aday, so i dont want to go see a doc just yet. Maybe someone here has had the same thing?

This might be one of those times you should stoop asking for medical advice on an internet forum and get your ass to a doctor

I'll be the first to say go to a doctor!

EDIT: Damn. Too slow. Make that 2nd to say.

Unfortunately, I think you're dying.

Jebus... calm down people. I've never been a sick a day in my life (not even a cold), so i dunno. Its no big deal right now, and i am not gonna run up to a doc to get a $300 bill for nothing. I am just asking if anyone has experienced the same thing? If it gets worse, i'll go no questions asked, but maybe it will go away by itself.

Burial costs, embalming/cremation, and the follow-up banquet in your honor will be more expensive than a visit to the doctor.

The next time you give oral sex tell them to stop sitting on your chest.

Nothing is hardly the same as Chest pains and being unable to move your neck. Go to a doctor.

DITTO!

Lots of people don't go to the doctor, then when they get deathly ill they have to go. Only to find out it woulda cost alot less if they would have went in the first place.

What the hell happened to this board? A year ago i would have gotten some usefull responces, and not just people making idiotic jokes who have nothing better to do with their time.

Yes i have never been sick, i have been hostpitalized once for appendix removal, but thats mandatory. Believe it or not, its true.

Yes, times have changed. Don't waste your time asking a serious question here.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

Heh, you asked for opinions. Thats what you got. Most people think you need to go see a doctor. Its just not what you wanted to hear.

This is what i was talking about. I mean, WTF? Its not even funny... Its cool when some reply is funny, but this guy is the one who needs his head checked.



Anyhow... The pains have lessened a bit since i woke up. I will still go to school, got an afternoon class.

True story here....
My grandfather worked 35 years, and never once took any sick days. 35 years perfect attendance. Hell, I barely believe it myself. Maybe it was 30 years, or 40. i dunno. Essentially, all his working life. Sure, he came down with the occasional cold n whatnot, but that tough old bastage just kept right on pluggin away. He got a pen for his effort. I've been employed slightly mor then a year and have taken 8 I think. We talked about it one time, I asked him what he got for perfect 35 year attendance. He said a pen or something dumb. Basically nothing. I said thats why I call in sick. Cause even if you dont, they dont really care.

Who's making jokes? They are telling you to go to a doctor, looking out for your best interest.

Besides advising you to go see a Doctor what other kind of advice worthwhile could anybody here give you? From the sound of it you might be having a problem with your heart. Hopefully I'm wrong and you aren't but why take the chance?

There are people who think perfect attendance is the holy grail of employment recognition. These people come to work clearly sick, and then infect others who are not as concerned about attendance. So the result usually is one sick person ends up sending a few people home sick.

I've found that sometimes the people who bank on good attendance are usually the ones who have very little else to show in terms of quality and productivity.

Heart, yeah that sounds serious, damn it. Alright, i'll go to class and see what happens. If it dont get better by dinner i'll go see someone.

 

[txgixer]

Does your college not have a free or low cost infirmary?

 

[lizium]

I dont know if they do... how can i find out? I cant afford to be running around doctors doing $3000 cat scans and what not. Stupid country with no health coverage

this migh be what i was looking for http://www.spinesolver.com/disc-Adult-neck_toc.htm

I thought it was funny. You should really go see a doctor today if it doesn't get better. $300 for a doctor visit? Is there a school infirmary?
