Chest Pains

[laura_seabrook]

I started having chest pains last night.

This might have been as a result of my spending too much time in front of the PC. It just feels like a deep heavy weight pressing down on me. I've had these before. Last year, I was sitting out the back on the sofa when suddenly I had these pains - it was like someone had detached a big heavy weight within me, and it was hanging down from my chest.

I thought it might have been due to bad posture, but this morning I as I sat at my drawing table and started drawing cartoons it seemed to go. Then I got a phone call from someone doing a survey on Centrelink beneficiaries. After that the pains were back.

I'm going back to drawing comics.

It could be a stress related thing. It sounds like what I get with my asthma sometimes though. You could try heating some eucalyptus oil in an oil burner or breathing in some steam.
I take big deep breaths and hold them for a while. The carbon dioxide relaxes the chest muscles apparently.

Chest pains are evil...i know i tend to get them if i lie in bed the wrong way and things like that.

I hope you're taking care of yourself. Chest pains aren't really something i'd dismiss.
I really hope things get better for you soon.

I had less of them today, but I've also been cleaning more, and drawing a new webcomic (http://lauraseabrook.comicgenesis.com/).
