A member asked:

What causes a 10 sec tearing pain across chest from right breast to left when lying down on side? eased when i say up, reoccurred when laid back down

Multiple causes: This sounds like chest wall or chest muscle spasm; however with your history of anxiety and hypothyroidism, it would be prudent to get examined and an EKG today.

More info?: Did you injure yourself? How long does it last? Does it happen every day? Or just once? Does food affect the pain? Have you had any surgery ? How long has it been there? Have you tried any medications? Did they work? Any nausea? Fevers? If this is recent you could try ibuprofen, heat, massage. If long standing or worsening see a doctor to begin workup.
