How long and how severely have you been restricting your food? Are you undereating? Do you have an eating disorder?
If you do, then you need to get one of your parents out of bed and get checked out by a doctor, even if that means a trip to the ER. Heart problems are a real risk with anorexia.
And I'm sorry if I am overstepping, but your screenname, along with your stats and still trying to lose weight worry me that there may be some unhealthy habits here. I'd rather run the risk of overstepping than take the risk that you have something serious going on and pretending things are fine. I can live with being wrong.0 -
Under your ribs? Usually actual heart pain will be felt in the central/upper/left chest region, in the shoulder, and sometimes in the esophagus. Most women feel heart burn when they're in some cardiac stress. Also, it's really not beneficial to work out 7 days per week.0

If it is under your ribs on the left side it is more than likely your spleen. This happened to me not too long ago and I found out that I had an enlarged spleen, and it was just pressing up against my rib cage when I worked out. They told me not to worry about it and now it comes and goes.0

Go to the ER.... it could be nothing but pleurisy which I also suffer from and is extremely painful but not life-threatening... or it could be serious. You need to know which one, so you NEED to see a Dr.... immediately! Do NOT put this off!!!!
Good luck!0 -
ER. An online fitness community can't help in the event of a heart attack. I say this sincerely as I can, and not in a condescending tone. Go get help, even if mama bear is PO'd at you.0

For a recovering anorexic, that probably does seem like a tremendous amount of food. I can appreciate that.
But unfortunately, the risks to your health don't go away simply because you've been able to eat a bit more. Have you ever been in treatment? Can you reach anyone from your treatment team for advice if you're afraid to wake your mom? Would your mom listen to them?
Believe me, your mom would rather that you be well than get another hour of sleep. If you're genuinely scared, tell her. I think you are, btw. She'll want to help.0 -
105lbs, baby you're tiny, even for your height, please be careful and get some help. sounds like you're pushing yourself a bit hard.0

Don't be scared to wake up your Mom. As a mom, I would be more upset if you didn't and it turned out to be something serious. Please don't mess around and wait. Have it checked out!0

Honey, if you are scared, you need to get it checked out...NOW. You know your body. As a mom, I'm telling you I think I would be more upset if my child DID NOT call me and wake me up if they were scared.
Seek help. Now.0 -

Your profile is private so it's hard to even know what country you're in, but with the times you're mentioning I'm guessing UK?
I don't really understand your healthcare system very well, but can you call Accident & Emergency (I think that's what they call it there) and see if they feel you should come in? Is there any other adult you can call, maybe a relative, if you need a ride or an adult to get healthcare?0 -
go wake your mum sweetheart. good luck x0
-
If your mom wont take you and you are in that amount of pain... then try to call a friend or relative that will take you...0
-
I third the motion to call someone else. A friend's mom? Someone at your church?0

thanks everyone but i cant do anything until morning

if your mom won't get up & you aren't going to the hospital tonight, get some ice water, lay down & try to calm yourself. stress will exasperate anything, especially if it is your heart & you're causing yourself to have an increased heart rate & respiration. when you wake up, express to your mom again how worried you are, if you still are & go to the hospital, otherwise call your doctor in the morning and have them see you immediately & stress on the phone that it is important that you get in to see the doctor as soon as possible. i'm trusting that your mom knows you and wants what is best for you & has her reasons for not panicking right now. ::hug:: ♥ deep breath.0

If you are in the UK call NHS Direct on 0845 4647. They will go through all the symptoms with you and decide if you need immediate medical attention. They will also send out an ambulance if it's necessary. Call them girl - it either needs dealing with or they will tell you not to worry.
Call them NOW - go on girl, let us know how you get on.0 -
We are genuinely concerned for you. Everyone here has been very kind. Please seek help. Show your mom what you've written here.0

Hopefully nothing bad is going on. I definitely think you should get checked out, but I also want to point out that chest pain generally doesn't mean a heart attack or anything to do with the heart. A pressure or squeezing does. Pain has more to do with your lungs and ribs. Hope you're okay!0

I would go get it checked out Hun. Just to be safe

you are working out too much..but whether thats your issue is unknown.0

Any luck getting checked out this morning?0
