Hi, I was wondering if someone could help
me figure whats wrong with me. Ever since
I was about 15 or so occasionally my heart
(or the muscles in my heart) out of
nowhere would start hurting very badly -
but only if I breathed all the way out or
all the way in. This situation would last
for only a couple of minutes and the only
way I could function is if I would kind of
breathe "in the middle" if I attempted to
take a full breath or breathe out all the
way it felt like something was stretching
my heart or like I had a band on.
Sometimes I could actually push on my
chest around my heart area and the pain
would stop and I could breathe in and out
all the way. I think I get one every
month or so now (24yrs old now) but my
heart races all the time now and sometimes
I can feel it pumping so hard my entire
body drums with it.
Any of this sound familiar?
Any help would be appreciated.

I am not a doctor, but I think this sounds
like pleurisy -- the lining around your
heart is getting pinched and you can't
take a deep breath without it hurting
really, really bad. I have had this
before and it only lasts for a few minutes
and comes and goes. I don't think it is
serious, but I haven't done much research
on it. You may want to read up on it and
see if it matches with your symptoms.

I experienced the same thing several times
ever since I was about 12 years old and no
one could tell me why it was....
