A member asked:
I just had the stomach virus & am expiriencing really bad chest pains - it's whenever i only breathe too. it's just a lot of pressure it feels like against my chest. it's not serious, is it? how long should this last?

Maybe: It's unusual to have chest discomfort after a stomach bug. If there were violent vomiting, that might cause a tear in the esophagus, which could cause chest pain and can be quite serious. A same day medical exam is warranted.
