chest pain and feel like I have to take a breath

by jdoubleu, Jul 24, 2008 01:31PM
I am 30 yo female.  On Monday I had a heart palpitation that felt like my heart was galoping.  Since then I've had a dull ache or pressure feeling on the left side of my chest.  I feel like I get the sensation of where it's at but it doesn't change if I push on it.  At times I feel forced to take a breath.  I went to Dr. today but he is going on vacation until Aug.4.  He didn't feel anything urgent needed to be done in the meantime but ordered blood testing as I had similar symptoms when pregnant about 9 months ago due to anemia.  Your thoughts on what this could be?
Thanks,
J
