Prayer for chest problems

[Bowser]

Hello!

I've been putting off for posting in here for a couple of months, but finally I decided to go ahead and do so.

I've been having bad chest pains that I think may be fairly serious, and I'm only posting because I'm not sure how long it would last. It's not an outer muscle pain, but is definately very deep and I'm guessing would probably be the bone.
I'm in general healthy condition, have never had anything broken, nor do I have a history of illnesses, but this is definately something, especially when flared up, that can cause me a lot of pain.

I hope it's just a part of growing, but I can understand that if it isn't it may get worse.

I don't mean to take away from your time or add to a list of worries, but if you have a chance please pass a word up to the Big Guy, and say hi for me while you're at it.

Chest pains ??
How frequent ?
Pressure type ? Squeezing ??
Sharp stabbing ? Worse with a deep breath, nausea ? Arm pain ? Jaw pain ?
Anytime you have chest pain you need to check it out ?
Ask me about the 12 year old I cared for after picking him up at school, he had a heart attack and almost died.
Or the 17 year old whom now has an implanted defibrillator.
Or the 19 yo college student who complained to me about chest pains and then died..
Its not something you want to ignore...

It has happened once before, and lasted roughly 3 days.  It's happening now again, about one month later, and has lasted 2 days so far.  The pain is probably less than what I experienced before, but still certainly noticeable and can cause me to wince or whine.

It's hard to describe what it feels like, but I would mostly associate it with a sprained ankle.  It's really unlike anything I've ever had before, so I don't think I can adequetly explain it.  It's not a sharp pain, and it does feel like there is pressure (like someone squeezing your arm tightly).  My guess would be that it's either where the rib connects to the clavical (?), or the heart.

I'm 20 years old and roughly 155 pounds at 5'11".  I had my blood pressure and BPM checked recently and everything (or at least the doctor told me

) checked out OK.  I have arthritis in my hands, knees, and elbows.
