Thanks! The only meds I am on include Allegra, birth control and Prevacid (which I stopped taking about 1 month ago) I am always worrying about every little thing..I never used to be like this! If the pains happen again I will definitely have them checked out. I have my nursing school orientation in the morning and the next week off before school so I'm going to do everything possibe to relax!!! Thanks for your help and I will keep you posted!

> Relaxing is a good idea! Are you on any medication? Many times anxiety will manifest itself in physical pains. And many people do describe them as what they think a heart attack may be like! Being a nursing student is a plus/minus right now as in "a little knowledge is dangerous" :-). I'm sure part of your interest in nursing stems from your interest in the goings-on in your own body. Having it checked out by your physician is a good, calming first step. Although you have medical knowledge, you don't always want to diagnose yourself!
