Yes, it can. Your best non-medical intervention is to avoid large meals (have lots of "snacks" instead) and don't eat late at night. If you go to bed around 11, best not to eat after 8.\n\nAlso best to avoid "gas producing" foods for your evening meal, as the gasses fill up your stomach and make the hernia protruded even worse than usual. You know what I mean, stuff like beans, broccoli.\n\nNot speaking for myself, but several patients have told me that "food combining rules" are helpful, rules like "don't eat fruits and vegetables at the same meal". I don't know these rules, but I easily googled them when I first heard of them.\n\nIf you still are getting uncomfortable when you lay down in bed, try sleeping in a recliner so you are in little more upright of a posture. If you don't have a handy LaZBoy, those folding loungers from LeFuma -- you know, the fancy dan ones that cost $100 -- are so comfortable that I can't stay awake! I ONLY use them for sleeping!\n\nIf you decide to go on medication, here is a tip. Nexium is just the same as Prilosec except for addition of something to prevent/treat bleeding ulcers. If bleeding ulcers have never been a problem, why not just take which ever is cheapest for you?

This rash may have any one of several causes.\n\nFirstly it may be caused by yeast bacteria on the skin.  Yeast survives in moist environments.  It may be returning because of recurrant sweat and irritation in the area.  Because your rash has an odour, this is the most likely cause.  Yeast gives off its own distinct smell.\n\nYou may have large heavy breasts.  In that case, you will tend to sweat more in that area.  With a large bust there are issues of your bra rubbing and irritating your skin and sweat building up under the bra.  In that case I would suggest keeping the area clean and dry.\n\nAnother cause may be contact dematitis.  Many bras use elastic in the strap that fits around your body.  As the elastic ages it degrades into a sticky substance that is irritating to the skin, especially when you sweat.  Some bras also use metal wires.  You may be allergic to the metal wire.\n\nAnother cause could be as condition called Lichen Planus.  A common location for this rash is under the breasts.  Factors such as stress contribute to it.\n\nBest way to deal with the problem is to see a health care professional.  He or she can help your arrive at a permanent solution to the problem.\n\nSelf help would include keeping the breast area clean and dry.  You might want to try sleeping without a bra.  That will allow your skin to breathe.

When I get them I usually take pain pills given to me by my doctor, but sleep is a good help and just lying down not doing anything in the dark with no noise helps me a lot too. You might try to ask your doctor about preventatives for them.

You're chances are VERY low!  I'm sure you're fine.  You might have some heartburn or a little high anxiety.  That is the usual cause of chest pain, etc.  Just relax.  If it's really driving you crazy, go to your GP and have them do some tests on your heart and blood pressure for some peace of mind.  If you quit smoking, that's a step in the right direction!

You should have any reason to put any weight on your chest.  That might just be your ribs and intercostal muscles repositioning themselves if you've applied pressure for a while on your chest area.  But maybe you should discuss it with your doctor next time you see him.

Yes, I sometimes have pain as you described and I have Fibromyalgia. Let's face it, Fibromyalgia is a real PAIN! I have had it for 30 plus years. I am sorry you are experiencing it. Worry and Stress does not help us so try to calm down, okay? I don't think there is a place on my body that hasn't had pain. I would like to ask you if you have a lot of trouble sleeping with your pain and if you are always tired?  Let me know, Okay? Best of luck!

If it was cancer, you would definitely know it by now. You probably have a less serious condition. Gall bladder disease is painful in the upper right part of your back. (I know... the gall bladder isn't even located there. But that's where most people feel the pain.) When you say it's your stomach, what exactly do you mean? Behind your breastbone? That's where your stomach is. Lower in your belly? That's where your intestines are, along with your liver and other organs. I'm surprised that nobody has given you a diagnosis -- even to tell you it's acid reflux or ulcers or an irritated colon. Do you get relief from taking anything such as antacids? Do certain foods make it worse? Does it happen only after you eat, or is the pain evident all day?? Are you constipated all the time? Do you have gas with it? Write down all the details... whenever you get the pain, write down the time, what you ate, what makes it go away, what the intensity is (on a scale of 1-10), etc. The more details you can provide your doctor, the better. Also, ask for a referral to a gastroenterologist. That's a doctor specializing in digestive tract problems. You also might consider that it's nerves. But see a specialist first.

I think you might want to take a pill like Tylenol PM to calm down your body and to relieve any pain. If that works, then try it again until your body gets back in a natural sleep pattern. Another thing is if you have pent up anxiety, if you take other pills, or you have changed your diet, you might not be sleeping. I had trouble sleeping when I was constantly worried and upset about things I couldn't control.

You definitely need to see your doctor.   These symptoms could be a variety of things, including heart attack as mentioned, but also gall bladder attack, though gall bladder attack doesn't usually last more than an hour or so.  Panic attacks might also be a possibliity.  In any case it is DEFINITELY something not best answered here but at your doctor's office!!!!!!

If you feel that ill, then go to Emergency right away.  Call 911.  If your chest is hurting that badly then you probably need medical attention. You should not have to fear that you will die and so, then let the medical professional team assist you.\n\nIf you can get through the night, then call a doctor tomorrow and go see him or her on an emergency basis.\n\nWhatever the case, go back to drinking water, not tap water, but good bottled water or spring water.\n\nBeyond that - try to turn your thoughts around to the positive and believe in your body's innate ability to heal itself.  If you believe in God, then pray to God and ask for healing.  If you do not believe in God, then pray for healing anyway because it works, if you believe.\n\nBlessings to you, you are in my prayers and I wish you all the best.  Know that there are people out there who do care and I am one of them.  Good Luck.  I know you will pull through this.

Lower than recommended nutrition could be part of the problem.  I would also say that it could be the intercostal muscles (the muscles between your ribs) that you could have strained from overworking in combination with your body working hard to compensate for lack of adequate nutrients.  STOP exercising or tone it way down until the pain goes away, if you exercise it will only get worse.  Try foods high in protein, that will assist in muscle building. Also try transition hot-cold packs to ease the pain.  I hope this helps! \nOh, if the pain lasts for longer than two weeks, hurts really bad and/or if it hurts to breathe, like if the pain is in your lungs, I would see a doctor.

sounds like it could be muscular upper lumber strain ausedby your chest. this is probably effecting your posture too. get your gp to send you for tests to rule out possible spinal problems, maybe ask to be referred to a physiotherapist to help with muscular strain and posture. get measured properly for a bra and buy a decently supporting one. this may distribute the weight more evenly.

To reduce the pain?  See which works better - a bra that makes you not move at all, or no bra.  When I've had really sensitive breasts (just from PMSing and having my period every other week for a while) I just switched back and forth.  \n\nTake ibprofuen  Drink lots of water in case it's an infection.\n\nTake long hot baths, and try to relax.\n\nIf it's been going on this long, you need to go to the doctor.  Tell your parents how bad it is bothering you.  It's really bad for you to be having your sleep cycle so disturbed by pain.

Don't pay any attention to those rude comments these people leave on here. I thought yahoo question was a place where you could go to ask questions no matter what it is. Dam people chill out..\n\nIt could be possible that you are pregnant,having sore breast is one of the first symptoms. Take a home test now and than one if you miss your period. Good luck

Could be strep throat, but only a doctor can tell. Just go to the docs. 3 1/2 years ago, I had open heart surgery because I had strep, didnt know it and it almost killed me, so go see the doctor, it wont be bad at all. I mean the visit now, it's better to go now than to have to get your ribs cracked for something that could have been treated with that yucky pink medicine, so GOOOOOOO!!!!
