It might but you: ...need to get medical care. The free Q & A service of HealthTap can give you general advice & information but not treatment. While I'm glad that your past chest x-rays have been normal, they don't tell the whole story. You need to be seen by a health care professional for an accurate diagnosis & appropriate treatment plan. Best wishes! Dr. Anne

See your doctor: ASAP please or go to ER, description of pain and "feels like elephant on chest" warrants exclusion of cardiac problems, wish you wellness
