Heart? Lungs? huh? What's up with this pain??

**evilgothicjenn** · 04-15-2011 09:27 PM

Ok, first, could/would it be the fact that I took Aspirin within like, 5 hours of an amphetamine?? (not a druggie, prescription for A.D.D) or aspirin with a hole in my heart and low blood pressure?? My wisdom tooth was killing me, and there's nothing else in the freggin house D: But, anyway, my RIGHT shoulder/back/neck/chest SOMEWHERE area is killing me!!! I can't really pinpoint it... It's kinda like, inside?? Feels like an arrow right through my shoulder blade / collar bone to chest region?... Yeah, everything is killing me today.... Anyway. What the !#$%(*&^% could this be?! It's an annoying dull pain that randomly shoots into a half crippling sharp pain everytime I breathe in, and especially if I yawn or breathe in quickly... OW! . I yawned. Lol... I haven't changed meds, diet, or anything else in my life lately. No stretching or lifting. Didn't sleep on it wrong, didn't even feel it till almost 12hrs after I got out of bed.... I have spine issues, heart issues, lung problems, and arthritis... I'm almost 19, I'm a chick, and I AM due for my depo shot in like 2 weeks. (birth control thingie that lets me NOT have periods. w00t ^_^)

P.S!!!! Don't tell me to go see my idiot doctors... I already HAVE to go tomorrow >.< but they won't find anything anyway, and will just throw penicillin at my head and laugh manically as I suffer a yeast infection from it......

If you do not think that a doctor will help then why go? No one here is a doctor so no one here can give an expert medical opinion, and nothing outside of medical opinions could technically help you. If the doctor gives you the okay to take whatever OTC pain med with your specific underlying heart conditions, or a different prescription pain killer like a mild T3, then why not keep taking them if it eventually does dull down the pain. A doctor is not going to prescribe an antibiotic unless there is reason to believe there is an infection, an arm hurting rarely warrants an antibiotic unless there is a gaping wound with puss oozing out. But if you are not wanting to take an advil lets say, simply use a hot water bottle or warm up one of those rice bags and put it on the should/chest/arm area. The heat will help with discomforting pains a lot of the time, same with taking a shower.

Because they won't let me have my shot. I HAVE to go... I don't get the awesomeness of being able to do my shot at home this time. No, they wanna run tests so they can find nothing. I don't want expert advice... I really don't even care if you guys thing I have a giant flesh eating tumor... Just was curious if anyone else had the same problem and had been told anything. I don't feel like taking a trip all the way to Detroit just to figure things out like last time... Cause in the end, it was a waste of time, and my spine is more crooked than when I started caring about it..... Gah. I just want to know what people's opinion on it is, and whether it may be a reaction to Aspirin or not?? My doctors think penicillin will fix everything... including the yeast infections the penicillin gives me AFTER taking it for a week -.- They threw it at me for ehhh..... 4-5yrs for a fever that never went away, only for one of them to finally go, HEY! Her fever has been around for 5yrs!!!! It's NOT an infection!!! *bangs head on wall*

Typically no an Aspirin will not cause your arm or shoulder to hurt, the Aspirin is a pain reliever not a pain inducer. Aspirin is different compared to other OTC pain meds though so again only your doctor or even your pharmacist would be able to tell you whether any drug interactions can occur based on your personal medical history.

An arm hurting though, yeah, I have had that before. Same with shoulder pains, heart and chest pains. Usually I take an Advil and I sleep it off because I do not care to feel a continuous aching pain if I do not have to. Pain can also be created from stress and anxiety.

Also, a fever is an indication of an infection a majority of the time. It is the first thing any mother or doctor will actually look for when it comes to infections or a person feeling ill. And while taking the antibiotic it must be taken exactly as directed until the entire prescription is finished, not finishing it correctly can and often does result in reoccurring infections because of the lack of proper medication present in the body over time.

I just figured that it thins blood, doesn't it?? So maybe with an ampehtamine (which tends to also do about the same) and having low blood pressure, that might be an issue?? Just wanna make sure I don't go killing myself over something retarded. Lol. And yeah stress and anxiety are my life XD but usually just give me headaches... As for the pills, I used to take the penicillin how I was supposed to, but now, unless I'm actually SICK, I stay away from that . The fever thing, they're still working on... It seems to go back to about the time puberty started kicking my arse. (bout 8yrs old) But so far, they seem to be utterly clueless. I'm slightly tempted to see that back doctor again by Detroit, those guys knew what was up. But unfortunately, turned me back to the care of Port Huron *face palm* instead of a back brace, they told me I was too OLD and unless I wanted poles in my back, stretching would CURE my scoliosis. HAHA!!!

As a freaking awesome update... Now it's consumed my entire upper chest/shoulder area in an incredibly intense pain, rather than a weird small spot somewhere inbetween my shoulder and chest... Eh, I'll leave another post as to what the doctors have to say tomorrow...
