It's the second time i've experienced this. the first time was much tamer and went away with time. i swallowed two routine prescription pills before this started happening.

May need an ER exam: A college-aged person with chest pain must see the doctor to find out why. It is too hard to guess the seriousness or severity, so that means patients usually get an ER evaluation. If it turns out to be a heart problem, a collapsed lung, a pneumonia, a blood clot in the lung, bad heartburn, costochondritis (inflammation of the rib joints), etc..., she will still be in the right place at the ER.
