Chest and back pains,

[marne]

Been getting pains in my chest for a while now, seem to of got worse since giving up smoking a few weeks ago. It feels like i'm being stabed in the chest and back, somtimes it realy hurts when i breath in deeply, does anybody else get this or should i see a doctor?

Mabye you have a chest infection? best to get it checked.

[marne]

Also get pains in my back, simalar to those in my chest.

Any chest pain needs to be checked out. Go and see the GP.

[Janbo25]

yes me to marne, one possibiblity they are investigating now is gallstones becuase that can cause both chest and back pain

[marne]

Gallstones, i had'nt thought of that, thought it was all those years of smoking, didnt want to see gp because i thought he would just say its my fault for smoking, so pleased i have given up (due to morning sickness). Maybe i should see gp.

yes do, mine started after having ds, i have had a chest xray which was clear just waiting for ultrasound, apparently gallsones are very common after pregnancy
