The night before last I had a crushing pain around my chest, was really intense. Felt as if someone was pulling an elastic band around me tighter and tighter, at times I felt as if I couldn't breathe. It lasted about half hour, I took neurofen and some Rennies, not sure if they made it stop or it went away by itself.
I had this twice when I was pregnant (gave birth 2 wks ago) but thought it was just the baby turning round and getting stuck, seems not as I have now exprienced it again.
I was fine yesterday but today I have a really uncomftable feeling just under my breasts and my asthma has been really bad the last couple of days, my inhalers do not stop me being breathless and I have to cough to catch my breath at times.
Any ideas?
