Question 9

some time i have sharp pain from throat to chest it very painful ?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Chest pain is often a sign to go to an E.R. if one's doctor is not readily available. Chest pain symptoms can be a heart attack. One should not drive herself (safer to go by ambulance). If she turns out not to have heart attack symptoms, the E.R. will also have evaluated for problems such as a collapsed lung, a pneumonia, or stomach reflux. A chest x-ray, EKG, and labs can be done quickly there.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Stuck: Something may be stuck or you may have an abrasion or lesion...I suggest that you go see your family doc and have it checked-out.
