stomach pain tightness
Intense Pain/tightness in stomach below my chest?
I don’t have insurance, so I’m hoping someone may know what’s wrong.
A couple of days ago, I woke up with pain in my stomach, and now today. Pain I never felt before. The pain seems to be coming from the center area right below my chest. The area where you quickly lose your breath should you get punched there. 
It feels *somewhat* similar to kidney stone pain, but even more intense. I can’t breathe so well and the area tightens up with pain. It has lasted any where from 5 to 20 minutes and then completely goes away. I’ve only experienced this twice.
My brother had the phone ready as it intensified. I really thought it was going to lead up to a very serious state of condition.
This is NOT something to fool around with. You need to get to the Dr. ASAP–it could be heart, gall bladder, appendix, anything. You may need to go to the emergency room as opposed to the urgent care, or regular Dr. appt.
It could be as simple as a pulled muscle, or as bad as your heart.
Just please, get to the Dr. ASAP.
Take care.
