@Ledboots
I've bee having sharp chest pains for two days...


It's all around and above my left breast
Sometimes when I take a deep breath I get that jabby feeling and sometimes it radiates up to the side of my neck and even my shoulder

Is it lupus ?
Please advise

radiating pain into left arm = heart attack symptom. But if you'd been heart attacking for two days, youd probably be dead.

I think that a heart attack can have precursors that mimic a heart attack before the attack actually happens.

Why would I have a heart attack

It does sound like typical heart symptoms, but with your recent history I would suspect something digestion related, like acid reflux.

So today I took my first Allegra. What's the big deal, right?
Most of these miracle antihistamines contain pseudoephedrine, and I have very strong reactions to speedy drugs.

The active ingredient wasn't pseudoephedrine so I bought it. Takes 80% of my symptoms away, and feels slightly pleasant.

Duly noted..

Lifetime ? Really Domon?

Ok. I did have some rice yesterday and it was the first time I've had that since before I was sick .. maybe it was that

Heart disease is the #1 killer of women. So many women don't think that they can have a heart attack.

Not saying that you're having one, just saying that you probably shouldn't be too hasty to say that you aren't having some sort of heart issue when the symptoms are close enough

Ugh I guess...

Last time it freaked me out, I googled around and found this to be the closest thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precordial_catch_syndrome

Doctors love me; I'm always annoyingly googling everything.

Maybe @Maureen and I are going to have synchronized heart attacks.

you're not wrong, but it's also worth noting that women often experience very different symptoms from what are considered "classic" symptoms, which is one huge reason why heart issues are often missed in women until it's too late

I get things like that every once in a while. It feels like someone is stabbing me in the chest with a tomahawk. But it's the lung, and apparently they're nothing to worry about.

Sign’s that sharp chest pain isn’t a heart blockage:

• Sharp chest pains that get worse with taking a breath
• Sharp chest pain that is very short in duration - just a few seconds
• Sharp stabbing pains that are worse when you press on the chest
• When movement aggravates your sharp pains

It's the not so sharp pains that are a concern.
