I have a really horrendous chest pain that has been twinging on and off for a week. I thought I'd pulled a muscle last Monday but it wasn't too bad.
It started to really hurt 24 hours ago and I can barely move. My breathing is really shallow because proper breaths cause searing agony across my chest. I can't lift anything (even a cup of tea), find a comfortable position to sit in. I can't work out if it's at the front of my chest, back or in the middle.
I didn't sleep much last night, the pain is so bad it catches my breath.
I had slight pins and needles in my fingertips briefly last night but i think that's stopped now.
I can't get comfortable, it's painful constantly. I pulled a muscle in my neck once and it felt very similar. I think it's either a trapped nerve or a pulled muscle but I'm no doctor and I can't get to the doctors because I can't drive!
I tried some gentle yoga stretches of my arms and chest but that was a huge mistake and it was agony. Even the ones that weren't, didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
