I have been having this burning sensation near my heart not really in the center of my chest.?

Question:

And I don't feel it in my throat. And it hurts every time I laugh or cough really hard. It has been like this for about a day and a half. It has happened before but usually at night before I go to bed and goes away in the morning. I'm only 17 and don't have the gas money or the time to go see a doctor. Especially if its not a big deal. I don't have any other health problems. Actually I'm a pretty healthy person besides lack of excercise.

Answers:
Try some tums. It may be heart burn, but if it gets worse, see a doctor.

It could be a number of things, such as ulcers or maybe heartburn. As you say, it may be nothing. But if this came on suddenly- and from what you say, it did- then you may well have a problem.

Have you talked to your parents?

Good luck!

May be Gerd, try a 14 day run of prilosec which is over the counter. If the pain goes to your arm and you feel pressure, like an elephant sitting on your Chest you are having a heart attack and RUN to the Phone and call 911. Any Shortness of breath call 911. This is not something to mess with. If it goes away after the Prilosec you know is GERD or maybe an ulcer. If not or it gets worse find a way to see your MD or just go to the ER.
