A member asked:

29f. whole back suddenly started aching...on and off...feels a bit better when i lay down. could that be a sign of heart attack?

Back aches: What you describe is highly unlikely to be related to the heart. It sounds more musculoskeletal. If it is persistent should see your doc and be evaluated.

Unlikely: More likely musculoskeletal pain given your age & symptoms.
