every time i move, take a deep breath i get a dull like ache pain in my chest, (around the heart area). i thought it might be muscle pain. but worried?

Question

Feel chest pound & it aches, got shortness of breath, heart 105 bpm. I'm18 & 115lbs female i walk 2 mi/day most days. Arises every now&then. Is it ok?

Answer 1

Rib dysfunction?: Sounds like the common presentation for a rib dysfunction, ie the rib gets 'stuck'. This problem often presents with pain (often sharp or severely achy & worse with deep inhalation or exhalation.) it's easily treatable by osteopathic manipulation, if it is the cause. A proper history & osteopathic hands-on exam might be able to determine the exact cause.Manipulation may fix it.

Answer 2

Could be many things: Including an intercostal muscle strain(chest wall muscle strain). But it could also be related to irritation of the lung or lining of the lung/chest wall, or even the lining around the heart. This should be evaluated by a doctor sooner rather than later. If your symptoms become more severe or you start to feel short of breath, lightheaded, dizzy then you should seek very urgent help.

Answer 3

Be seen today: You may have chest wall irritation from coughing--but you should not take any chances and you should be seen in a clinic or emergency room today to make sure no heart issues are present. Have someone drive you to be seen. Good luck.

Answer 4

No: I don't that would be wise. Ingredients in those can cause seizures in high doses, and no one knows how much is safe for a baby; also they can irritate the throat and cause it to close up.

Answer 5

No: While some pain relieving medications are ok for babies (acetaminophen and Ibuprofen if baby is over 6 months), the chemicals in sprays may not be safe for a young baby. Avoid those and rely instead on systemic medicines if needed. On occasion your pediatrician may suggest a pain-relieving gel or topical liquid, but do not use them without discussing it with your doctor.

Answer 6

No: I do not think it is necessary. Depends on the age of the child your provider may determine if strep is the problem. Otherwise most sore throats are viral. Sometimes i recommend acetaminophen.

Answer 7

No: Most of the time i prefer not give babies many medicines, but if they do seem bothered by their throats i would rather use tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin (ibuprofen if older then 6 months). Cool liquids can also be helpful.

Answer 8

No: Not at all, very dangerous to use any product without discussing with your pediatrician.

Answer 9

Yes: Typically the topical antiseptic sprays are difficult to use in babies because they will have trouble opening their mouth wide enough for you to use the spray effectively. They are safe though, and can be used once or twice a day. A better option would be oral medication like Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen to relieve his or her sore throat.

Answer 10

No: Some children can react to the local anesthetic in certain sprays although this is rare.

Answer 11

No: Antiseptic sprays are not effective enough to be worth the effort of spraying a baby's throat if the baby resists and most babies will resist.

Answer 12

No: I would first ask how you know that your baby has a sore throat - they may have sore gums, or might just not like eating. I would next remind you that over-the-counter throat sprays contain lidocaine, which can build up rapidly in a small baby and result in an irregular heart beat. If you really think your child has a sore throat, the best person to see is your medical provider.

Answer 13

No: A baby with a sore throat or suspected sore throat should be seen by the doctor soon, to see if there is a strep throat infection. Throat sprays are not for babies. If a young baby (under 3 months) is appearing to have a "sore throat" and not eating as much, there may be a more serious illness going on, so parents should contact the doctor right away.

Answer 14

Several things: Depending on where you are in your cycle, pain in your abdomen could be many things. Worrisome issues are ovarian cysts or ectopic pregnancy. Depending on your symptoms (nausea, vomiting, bleeding, diarrhea, contipation), it could be minor or serious. I would consult your doctor immediately.

Answer 15

Mucocele possibly: The bump on the side of your mouth might be a mucocele. It is a clear bump filled with salvia. Caused when the duct to a minor salivary gland gets clogged and the saliva backs up. Most common on the lower lip but can occur elsewhere in the mouth. Ussually resolve on their own. Some times large ones require surgical removal. Bumps on the back of your tongue are probably normal vallate taste buds.

Answer 16

Mucocele?: If it is on your cheek it might be a blocked or clogged salivary gland duct and the blister is just the fluid not having a duct to let it out. Saee your dentist or ENT to make sure.

Answer 17

Infection: You have a respiratory/throat infection. Could be viral and could be bacterial best to see a doctor. Other options to help with symptoms include taing elderberry, gargling with salt water or half and half peroxide and mouthwash (do not drink- just gargle) and a warm cloth around neck to hep with lymph glands. Important to rule out strep throat as that will improve with antibiotics.

Answer 18

Yes, upper: The kidney is the upper end of the urinary tract, so an infection here or pyelonephritis is a form of uti, urinary tract infection. Kidney stones can also present this way. A pyelonephritis may require intravenous antibiotics to cure.

Answer 19

Possibly: Certainly could be a UTI but could be related to a kidney stone as well.
