Question 5

chest pain hurts when i breathe?

Question 6

bad cough and severe chest pain?

Accepted Answer

Time to see doctor: A person in her 20's with "bad cough" and "severe chest pain" should see the doctor right away. If her own doctor is not immediately available for help, the wisest thing to do is call 911. The paramedics have oxygen, medications, and can do an EKG. The ER doctor can evaluate for lung and heart problems. Even if it is not a heart problem, the ER usually can provide diagnosis and treatment.

Question 7

can acid reflux cause chest pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The common name for this is "heartburn", and antacids can ameliorate.  A male your age should be evaluated with a cardiac stress test to rule out coronary artery disease & angina.  The idea is to rule out the worst differential diagnosis first, and not to assume a lesser threatenous symptom to be the most likely cause.

Question 8

how do i get rid of my chest pain?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: chest pain has a very broad differential, I would need to knwo more details about the features of your chest pain to sort of narrow it down.
For your age bracket it is probably something not to worry about, but if this a severe pain that tears to your back, not going away than you probably need a visit to ER

Question 9

what could cause aching chest pain?

Accepted Answer

An Achy Breaky heart: Just kidding, couldn't resist w/ that set-up!  Seriously, there are many causes of chest pain (CP) but anterior CP is usually caused by 4 diff etiologies.  1.  Cardiac.  Heart etiologies are usually triggered by activity.  2.  Pulmonary.  Usually it is a sharp, pleuritic pain w/ inspiration.  3.  GERD.  Acid reflux usually causes burning.  4.  Chest wall pain.  From aching muscles. So need details

Question 10

can levothyroxine cause chest pain?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: A dose higher than one needs may cause an elevation of the heart rate or blood pressure that causes the metabolic demand for oxygen by the heart to exceed the ability of the coronary arteries to supply the oxygen, leading to chest discomfort.  Thyroid function tests, especially the TSH level, & evaluation by your doctor is prudent, especially if some underlying condition exists, unmasked by the rx.
