Last time that I had chest pain, I ended up in the hospital for three days recovering from a heart attack. Now, I have “discomfort” daily and will probably need open heart surgery next year.
Could be nothing though.
Sorry to here that Sorelai, I hope everything turns out well!

Get your blood pressure checked, and hydrate immediately. I had literally the same ethereal discomfort in class one day, and went to the Dr’s office on campus. They kept me there for near two hours trying to get my blood pressure under control, because it was scary high.
I had zero clue beyond that feeling anything was wrong, and you rarely will with blood pressure issues.

Unconscious stress
Their own research led Brosschot and his colleagues to the insight that perserverative cognition can even continue while we are sleeping; after spending a day ruminating, we can experience very strong stress symptoms. Indications that this can also happen in the daytime, when we are on alert, made the researchers curious about unconscious stress during the day.

If you were overly caffeinated or something, no. If you were not, maybe???
Why are you asking GD? Get to a healer…

Yikes. If anyone feels that level of chest pain, getting to a doctor is probably a good thing.

it could be heart burn but im not sure really.
when I started taking cholestoral medicine I had less chest pains for some reason even though that doesn’t make sense to me.
for some people chest pain is a serious thing. We had a raider have a mild heart attack mid raid and people had to scream at him to go to the hospital. he made it and still raids with us.

It’s diabeetus, you’re going to die.
Upper Left of your chest close to your armpit? If so, it could be a spastic nerve or a little arthritis depending on your age. I’m not a doctor though, so I would advise you talk to your Doctor about it. At the worst they will do a EKG and see what’s up. IMHO get it looked at just as a general wellness check would be a good course. Better safe than sorry right?

Do a wellness check, also I tend to forget to breathe when I’m extremely focused. So remember to breathe.
Crook, are you inadvertently holding your breath while playing fast action parts of the game? I find myself doing that sometimes. Be sure to breathe and hydrate with water, not soda, and, take a vitamin. I hope the event was isolated. I agree with others, if it continues to occur you need to seek medical care at a free clinic somewhere. Good luck to you.

If you need to ask, you probably do.
Play through the pain.
I once had a severe heart attack, had to go to the hospital and get a triple bypass, but I finished and timed the key I was in, because I’m a real gamer.
I don’t think it would ever be smart to heed the advice “you’re fine, don’t see a doctor” if it came from GD.
Go see a doctor.
Seeking medical advice on the WoW forums.
Not a great idea.
