Today, I went to school like every other day. I was in my second period class,(which is Biology) and I was doing my assignment when I got a chest pain. You see, this happens maybe every few months. I feel like if my chest expands, I'll impode, so yeah it sucks. I pound on my chest, and burp, and it goes away, not to be seen again. Not so much this time.
The pain didnt stop, and I couldnt breath. I asked my teacher Mr.Pitts if I could go to the school nurse. He said "hurry" and I jogged down to the nurse's office. I called my mom, and sputtered out "I cant breath!" She said she would be there, and the nurse called me back. Suddenly, the internal assult ended, and I was really shaken by it. The nurse checked my vital signs, and took my pulse. She checked my blood pressure, and took some notes.
When my mom got there, she took me to the ER at Med-Clinic Hospital, and I spent about two hours in the waiting room. They called me in, and took my weight, asked me questions, and checked my Vitals again. They sent me to the waiting room again, and said that a Radiologist would take me in for ex-rays, because I have this misplaced bone that sticks out of my chest.
The Nurse took me to the Ex-Ray room, and they had me put my chest on this cold metal plate, where they took pictures. I was send to a room with a bed and a TV where I would wait. They had me put on this type of gouwn, or however you spell it. The nurse came in, and put there little sticky thingies all over my body, and hooked up some plugs to them. I was a little nervous, but it wasnt bad. I took them off, and waited for my test results. A lady came in, and had my mom fill out some paper work, and left not to be seen for another half hour.
They came back in, and told me I have to have an endocopy. (http://www.childrenscentralcal.org/images/health_images/ei_0157.gif)
Like the picture shows, they're going to stick a little hose down my throat and into my stomach to make sure everything is okay. Im pretty freaked out by it, because I dont like having anything lodged in my throat, or shoved into my stomach, if you know what I mean. Of course you do, im sure you would be freaked too. I keep telling my mom that they're not gonna make me! :D On the downside I cant have any pop, or anything too spicy, which pretty much scraps all of my favorite foods. But I really dont give a rats crap about what the nurse says. I've lived like this for 15 years, I'll be absolutely fine. You can probably tell already, but Im going to be one of those 90 year old men who refuses to go to a retirement home, and evades all attempts to get me there. :P
AHEM
When I had to have my wisdom teeth taken out, I couldn't eat ANYTHING after midnight the night before. Heh, I didn't eat anything for over 24 hours, and after I got home, I ate only a little bit of soup. So not eating spicy food or drinking pop is nothing by comparision.
This could be serious, and it might be even so that you'll need minor surgery for this.
Even I have pain in my chest (I have a bit right now), for some reason which I cannot fathom.
Anyway, it would be best if you followed doctor's orders to the letter, if you do anything against that, that will prevent accurate test results, and we won't know what's really wrong... Meaning your life could be cut short.
You know JQ? Some people die, but they never really lived...
Worst thing I've got is asthma. It's not severe but if I let it, it can.
I have had two attacks in the middle of the night where I couldn't breath, but I haven't had one forever...they happened like a month apart last year...but we think maybe my room was moldy becasue I have allergies and we lived in an old apartment. so yeah.
Sometime's I have a cough, but they go away after, like, three seconds.
What's an endocopy? We haven't reached biology yet, so...
You should take this more seriously. Besides, I might be glad to be in your situation, I drink only water and lemonade, (because it's so sweet!) and I hate really spicy food, so my food life might not be affeted at all.
it is because of the spicy food you have it right? So shouldn't that convince you not to eat it?
If I took biology already I would've said that.
I haven't taken biology, I just know about it from family problems...
Read what I typed just under the picture. Thats what an endoscopy. And no, she said it was air bubble. They dont know what it is, and they just dont want me taking risks. You cant live your life without risks man! Risks are what make life interesting. And I dont care if i die. I've come to good terms with death. I cant wait to soar through the clouds with my best friends, and my good lord. That will be the happiest day after my life :)

Say what? You mean to say that some of your best friends are deceased?
Eh, I'm pretty fatalistic. I don't really care if I would die, in fact I would be happier (in the ironic sort of way) dead than alive. Heheh, Maybe I shouldn't be saying this...
I don't care about heaven or hell or purgatory. In fact, if it so suited for a god to send me there, it wouldn't matter anyway.
You would die just to eat spicy food? It's good, but not worth my life, jeeze ...

:) heaven was made for those who believe and have faith.
I still wonder what it is like up there though...will there be Arby's?
I know that this has probably been said before in this topic like 100 times, but I just feel the need to say it again.
You may have a serious problem, ZV, and unless you want to live less time on Earth, you really should go to the doctor and get it checked out.
I'm glad you're okay and all, but if you dont go to your doctor to get checked, I'll drive down to Texas, bag you and force you to get checked. :P
But I'm glad you're all right. Just watch what you eat, and everything will be fine...
No, it won't, it will take more than better eating habits to fix this.
Oh, I thought you said have an endocopy, not have to have an endocopy. Sorry. 8)
Still, I am sure that this is more than that. I can't prove it, but you should have the endocopy. You could also ask them to knock you unconscious during the thingy so you won't feel it.
Hahahah here's what happened to Frank Iero! And note, bad words are starred out. :D But poor Frank... 8)
Back in the My Chemical Romance camp, the war-zone analogy is, sadly, rather apt.
The New Jersey rockers are one solider down. Guitarist Frank Iero is missing in action.
"He's really upset that he's home. He'strying to get back out as soon as possible," Way says.
But despite rumours on the internet at the weekend, Iero lookes unlikely to make it to Australia.
"He was so f****n' sick, like he was haemorrhaging out of his sinuses and bleeding out the nose. He was in so much pain, his head was like twice the size, bruised, it was so bad," Way says, all too graphically.
Before you ask,no, the rest of the band haven't been mistreating Iero.
"He got his wisdom teeth pulled," Way explains witrh a laugh.
"And when they pulled his wisdom teeth, they cracked his sinus wall, which is not really supposed to happen. So that filled with blood and then it got infected.."
We get the point. So, after flying all the way to Japan, Iero gave in and returned. The rest of the band continued on to New Zealand and Australia, with their friend, Todd Price, of New York band, Drive By, filling in on guitar.
Not that any Rresident Bush-style troop reinforcements were really needed here- My Chemical Romance ave proved time and time again that adversity is their best friend.
With Way back in black (Black hair, that is), they are bravely parading The Black Parade in the harsh Aussie afternoon sum. enlisting more and more supporters as they go.
"We're a dark and light-type band- you need to get the dark and the light so there's usuallylots of shadows and explosions," Way says.
"But we realised that one of the specdial things about the band is really the visceral quality and the spit and sweat.So that, obviously, translates in the sun."
Umm... Don't think anything happened to me! But one time, my nose was so clear I couldn't hear myself breath. :o
What does that have to do with this? And if actually does, please make more understandable posts. It was really confusing.
How was it confusing?
Well, you could of told us who these guys were when you introduced them to us. Also, please correct your spelling mistakes, which didn't help.
Yeah, that was pretty off topic. But whatever, no I'm not dieing to eat spicy foods, I just want to live my life here on earth as awesome as possible. :)
Exactly. Then, after your life here, you can go to heaven and be forever free. ;D
Supposedly.
And who's to say you'll go to heaven and not hell? Look, all I'm saying is you should make the most of your time here on earth, not waiting for death like some sort of sick release. There's no telling what lies beyond the realm of life. Waiting for death is the creepiest thing I've ever heard.
*points large neon sign to self*
Not wait for death, per se, just not fear it. Faith in the Lord will make you have no fear in death, no matter who you are.

Ah, well that's good. But what did they say exactly? Like, what are you not supposed to do?
I've been living this way my whole life. They told me to stay away from pop, and spicy foods. They consider Pizza and Chicken Spicy. :-*

So? You're fifteen for god's sake! The average lifespan is five times that. Eventually this is gonna catch up with you, and WHAM! You're history. You should really take your doctor's advice.
Pizza and chicken? Spicy? Blasphemy! :-*
This is quite a conundrum, ZV. I had never heard of such a condition before... I'm not necessarily saying that it's serious, though. Like they said, it could've been an air bubble.
If you say that burping helps the pain cease, maybe there are times prior to these instances that you hold in the gas in your stomach, making it escalate to the point where it messes up your breathing. I'm no expert, but maybe you need to BURP more often. However, don't take my advice if you're unsure if it could harm you in any way.

I didn't make any spelling mistakes ::)
Yeah, and you might not wanna burp that much cause it is kinda nasty in public. :P
Nasty in public? Nonsense! :P
Still, if it's a good cure, then it should be carried out, even if it's nasty.
In all seriousness, I agree. But the doc will tell ya, so keep us posted.
wow that sounds bad and if i was told not to drink soda or energy drinks...i guess i mite die but yeah i have asthma so i know what its like to have my chest hurt
Lol I think I would be able to live with braces.
But, one time my nose was soooooo clear I couldn't hear myself breath, and feel the air go in and outta mah nose. :P

:o :o :o :o :o :o
What exactly do you mean by that?
Thats like... way off topic. I think I found you going off topic somewhere else. Gotta watch that, okay? :)
Ha we just did about endoscopes in physics, they use total internal reflection!
Hn, like that helps, anyway, good luck with whatever happens!
