for the last few months i've been experiencing a sharp sudden pain at the top of my head and on the left side of my chest. both at the same time. it doesn't last long nor does it happen often. but i am quite concerned. i've also been having a feeling of pressure in my chest and pain on both sides right and left, jaw pain on both sides too, and my left forearm went numb. (i think it was because i was leaning on it during class for a long time...idk) I also woke up one morning with a pain on the left side of my chest, only hurt when i inhaled deeply or stretched my left arm out like one does to put on a coat. i freaked out and thought it was a heart attack. Here's the kicker, that same day i had went to the doctor to see what the problem was. i had originally went because i was having strange pain at my left temple and ear. the pain spread to the left side of my neck and shoulder. i thought it was an ear infection. i spend a lot of time on the computer, due to my major in college. i thought that the pain in my neck may have to do with my posture. however the doctor, said that i didn't have an ear infection, good posture, and gave me an EKG on my heart. the results came out perfectly normal, but my blood pressure was a little high. i think only because i was super nervous and tense during my appointment. the doctor suggested that i exercise more. so for the last few days i've been doing tai chi and yoga, which made a serious impact and now the pain in my neck is gone. i feel energized and relaxed. now, i've been doing these exercises every morning and night. i still have headaches on both sides of my head, much like a tension headache, and pains in my chest on BOTH sides. The doctor also said that i need to eat more often. i usually dont have time for breakfast, if i do its a thermos of green or salon tea. i sometimes have trail mix for lunch at school, then i come home and have a regular dinner. the chest pain? the pain moves all around from the left to the center, right, even by my armpits. i'm not sure if its the way i've been working out. it shouldn't be because i dint exercise very often (like i should >.<) i just started these stretches a few days ago, and i do a few pull ups every now and again. i also sleep on a couch but i have no back problems, my back pack isn't heavy either. im 19 and 115 pounds, i don't think i should be experiencing these problems. Sorry this is so long but im very very worried and thought that every detail would help. I would like to know if anyone has experienced a sharp pain at the top of ur head and at your heart at the same time. if not what do you think this could be? Also pain in different parts of your chest? Any and all answer are appreciated =)
