Anybody have chest pains and breathing issues?

Ya, well.... that doesn't sound like something that you should be ignoring.... you should go to the Dr. That said.... I had chest pains, that have gone away since I lost some weight, and eat better. I also had, off and on for like 30 years... a weird pain that was related to eating... I originally thought it came on when I ate alot of red meat.... and that's what I told the Dr, many years ago... the pain was on the left side, kinda just below my ribs. Granted, I make a horrible patient, I can't describe what's going on, for *kitten*.... and I'm not real familiar with my own anatomy... but the Dr basically told me all those years ago, there's nothing there.... so, your red meat = pain theory, isn't worth a pinch of coon *kitten*.... and sent me on my way. So, I continued to have those pains, off an on for years, and guess what.... lost some lbs, and eat a little more reasonably, and they're gone too.

So, ya.... dropping weight should help with those pains. That's if you don't have a heart attack first. So, you should probably be getting checked out by a Dr. My buddy... no relation to Lichent's buddy.... died in bed at 37 yrs old of a heart attack. Don't be thinking that it can't happen to you, just 'cause you're young.

Could be nothing but most will agree that the symptoms you are describing are a major red flag and you should get your self off to get a ECG/EKG book in with a cardiologist and get a stress test done and what ever else medical professionals suggest.

Fingers crossed it is nothing but don't take the chance.

Good luck

As to the bingeing - you need to get all introspective and navel-gazy and ask yourself why. There's always a reason. It could be physiological, it could be psychological, but identify it so that you can vanquish it.

Maybe you need to use TDEE calculations instead of MFP ones or something. Maybe you've been trying too hard and the wheels have come off.

Get to a doctor, like tomorrow.

You need to go to the doctor. It sounds like you may have pretty good blockages in your coronary arteries. In other words, you're on your way to a heart attack if you don't get yourself looked at. Diet and exercise might cure it, or you might need more aggressive treatment. Please get checked out.

Get it checked by your dr - the worse that will happen is they will tell you no everything is fine
You don't have to have the typical tv type chest pain for it to be serious - not everybody suddenly grabs their chest complaining about left arm pain.
Most people only get one heart so you probably want to take good care of it.

Further to all this... and I'm not gonna cite the source, because I have no idea how credible it is.... but this is, 'food for thought....'

Death may be the first and only sign of a heart attack.

OMG - go see your Doctor...or perhaps the ER? Not normal, not healthy - more than likely something very serious. Unless you smoke, then thats normal.

Man I wish I had medical insurance

Does your company pay death benefits?

At my heaviest I was always short of breath and I snored like a freight train.

Both problems have gone away with my weight loss.

I would really consider going to see a doctor though, might be something serious.
