Hi missy, i'm 22 and also suffer from PE. I also get a pop or cracking sound sometimes when i stretch out. Lately I sometimes have been get a feeling or shortness of breath, but i usually need to huck up some phlegm than it goes away. I get the odd sensation in my chest. How severe is your PE? I've never had a doctor been too concerned about mine, but upon reviewing others on here i think mines pretty severe. Anyway i see this is almost a year old topic, can you update us on your sitation?
That's what I was thinking too. I believe my mom mentions something about either also being born with a small hole in my heart, which closed on it's own, or having a murmur when I was small. I can't say for sure on either of those without talking to her about it again.
I was leaning in the direction that I need to have it checked now, but since I've only recently started looking up info on this I kinda wanted to make sure I wasn't just being paranoid about my symptoms. Thank you for taking the time to read this and responding.
Oct 8th is kind of far away. It sounds like you need to be checked out right now because of your recent symptoms.
Do you know if you were also checked for any heart birth defects when you were little?
If it were me, I would get in to see the Dr now. Your symptoms could be from your sternum but you need to find out what's going on right now. Remar
