I feel pain in my chest.

I feel pain in the lungs sometimes when I try to fully breathe in, happens rarely, but still.

So does it happen rarely or not?
It sounds like you're just taking in too much air. Make sure your gasps don't last any longer than five seconds. If the pain persists no matter how shallow you breath, see a doctor.

Typo.
The pain starts when my lungs are half full, but it's very rare. "I don't need a doctor it's not that bad"
I have a spot on my god damn arm and It's pissing me off, how do I get rid of it?
[QUOTE=Contag;32034610]What antihistamine do you take?
The substance use is probably too insignificant to matter, and I don't see any glaring contraindications. I'd go with your doctor, ventolin was probably the cause. Have you experienced any tachycardia since discontinuing?

Sounds like it's dislocated.[/QUOTE]
I might've dislocated it at first, but definitely not now, I can move it but thing like sitting in a car and reaching over my chest to put on my seatbelt are EXTREMELY painful.
Maybe it's an acute rotator cuff tear.

Wash frequently, apply cream, and don't pick at it.

It might be wise to see a doctor if you're not getting full lungs of air. At the very least, rest frequently.

I wash every day and it seems to be a recurring spot that comes and goes.

I had something similar. Doctor said that I pulled a muscle in my sleep, in my rib cage. Was so painful, I went back twice to get different medications.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32038428]I wash every day and it seems to be a recurring spot that comes and goes.[/QUOTE]
Then apply cream, and, again, don't pick at it.
If it comes and goes, something you do every day might be pinching your arm. It might be a blood-blister rather than a spot.
Do you do anything that might pinch your arm?
[QUOTE=Hana-San;32040305]I had something similar. Doctor said that I pulled a muscle in my sleep, in my rib cage. Was so painful, I went back twice to get different medications.[/QUOTE]
I did something similar.
Rikodeine is a fairly decent pain medication, about the strongest you can get OTC.
Unless you're taking something like oxycodone, it's quite helpful.

Nope, it's definitely a spot.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32040488]Nope, it's definitely a spot.[/QUOTE]
Then just follow the steps I've provided. Beyond that, it is just a spot, so it shouldn't annoy you [I]too[/I] much.

Also why did you say not to pick it, what does that do to it?
[QUOTE=Dispenser;32034471]Necrotizing fasciitis. You're going to die if you don't amputate immediately.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necrotising_fasciitis[/url]
From what I've heard the early symptoms sound a lot like Subcutaneous Emphysema. In most cases I believe you do have to amputate the affected limb before it spreads and ends in death. It moves REALLY fast too. That wikipedia article might say otherwise I just used it to check my spelling. I'm just going off what I've heard from people that have seen it before.[/QUOTE]
the symptoms sound like subcutaneous emphysema? lol you troll
My family is too fucking cheap to take me to a hospital even though my right shoulder hangs lower than my left one. I've had it looked at by a couple people and it looks like it's seperated, so what should I do put it in a sling for a week or so?
[QUOTE=bluesky;32033738]Today at football practice I was running the ball and got tackled pretty hard, I landed dirctly on my outstretched arm, and felt my should pop and click. It hurt like a motherfucker, like I just wanted to sit there and scream but I got up, and tried to move arm a little and I couldn't, after about 5 minutes I regained some movement but it was really sore. I went through practice and it was bothering me now I'm at home and it hurt to lift my arm the slightest.
Should I goto the hospital? Like I feel my arm crackle (yeah, crackle) if i move it in certain ways and it makes funny sounds.
I don't want to waste money just for a doctor to tell me to wrap it but idk.[/QUOTE]
What area of the arm, and as said before it sounds awfully like a dislocation, but you're able to move it some. . . so could be a really bad twist of the joint, should certainly go to the doctor.
[QUOTE=Jericho_Rus;32037887]I feel pain in the lungs sometimes when I try to fully breathe in, happens rarely, but still.[/QUOTE]
This happens to me sometimes as well, I searched around and it seems like it is just a nerve being pinched when your lungs expand. So its most likely nothing to be worried about.

You need to seek medical attention so you can get it re-aligned. Go by yourself. Nothing you can do yourself will help like a medical professional could.
I spent a total of two hours walking today (About 60-80 minutes at noon, then 40 minutes in the late afternoon). How long is this exhaustion going to last?
hi i woke up this morning and my left ear feels like its popped (you know when you close your mouth and hold your nose then force air/blood/whatever to your head) and its now 1:25am and its still exactly the same
its kinda annoying because everything is muffled on one side and sounds too bass-y

help pls
The frontal part of my shoulder hurts, I'm sure it's in place, as I can move it all around. It over head motions that hurt like hell
[QUOTE=Teal Moose;32031293]Alright doctor FP, hit me with some advice: yesterday I was working for my grandfather clearing some fallen trees that the hurricane left. I wanted to get done fast so I hauled ass and overworked myself a bit. I don't have any personal history of heart ailments, but they do run in my family. Anyhow, I started to notice my heart was beating hard and fast. Noticeably and distressingly so. I've had heart palpitations before and lately I've been having some breathing trouble and some palpitations caused by a reaction to some breathing treatments. So needless to say, I've been experiencing this a fair bit. But these, these were overwhelming, I had to drop everything for a moment and let them subside.
It would take me a while to list out everything that could be related so I'll make it short:
I've been having a little withdrawal as I've discontinued some heavy drinking, I stopped probably three weeks ago. I also cut out daily weed smoking, about two weeks ago. I'm an occasional tobacco smoker, never more than a few cigs a night. Should I be concerned? The doctor said to just discontinue using the albuterol that caused the reaction but she doesn't know anything about my substance use. I also take an antihistamine, acid reducer, and 25mg Sertaline HCI (Zoloft) daily. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
zoloft wouldn't cause a side effect like this so I'll ignore that from the start. It could be related to substance use, just like a chain smoker can't climb stairs; anything that requires damaging your lungs even slightly will cause you to loss your breath easily.
Histamine Blockers, will cause a little bit of overall weakness and exhaustion to onset quicker, it's a pharmacokinetic thing. It could just be a unique condition you may have gained over time. Get your lungs checked out. Your doctor can't do shit about your weed smoking so you shouldn't be afraid.

Just go get medical attention man, if it was a minor musculoskeletal injury I'd say let it go. It could be a number of things though.

[editline]1st September 2011[/editline]
if it's painful then you may have a bad infection, get that shit checked out fast before it spreads to your inner ear. If it isn't painful, it may just be a pressure difference that was never resolved by your ear canal. (your body can resolve pressure differences by itself by streching the tube connecting your throat to your inner ear) Just relax and don't listen to loud music. It should resolve itself within a matter of a day or two. I have had this before and it always just takes time. If it dosen't resolve itself, or becomes painful, get your ear checked fast.

it's like working out for the first time in a while, it will subside. Just don't exert yourself too hard, spread the workout over a week, then get more frequent as your endurance goes up.

I'm not trying to be funny, I'm trying to help people. My brother is a trained Paramedic and my dad is a pharmacist and a pharmacology professor. I've learned over time from them, my brother shows me treatments for different injuries and I've learned of drugs and drug interactions through working with my dad.

I have had this too, you probably ripped your rotator cuff a bit.
it will heal over time, but if you need to keep doing those movements, do this
-stand up and point at the ground, and make circles with your finger, and make them bigger and bigger. i'd call it an inverse spiral, if you dig that.
do that often and once it hurts, stop. apparently it is supposed to ease the pain afterwards.
it should be okay soon, so don't fret. I personally ripped mine by throwing 35 baseballs over a fence, don't ask. :v:
by the way, i'm not bullshitting you. I am fairly sure that is what is wrong with your shoulder, because it sounds EXACTLY like a rotator cuff injury, where it hurts when you swing overhead at a certain angle.
