chest pain and im only 22

[Faerie Dreams]

Bit of a background
I'm slightly overweight but not obese 150lbs at 5'4"
I work out lightly and go on a lot of walks and have a toddler, I'm not a couch potato but not in top shape either.
I have stomach problems where about everything I eat makes me want to vomit. But I hate throwing up so I don't. Just curl up in pain until I fall asleep.

Now I've been getting this pain in my chest recently....It's like heartburn but for a couple seconds and then it goes away. Is it just heartburn? Or what?
I read online that it could be a side effect from my birth control...if it is should I stop taking it?


I know I need to go to a doctor, I'm in the process of finding one that isn't a family doctor cause those suck and won't take any one seriously.

It might not be heartburn unless its like.. an aftertaste after eating food. I have gotten heartburn a lot and some of the time it can be so bad that it hurts your throat. I hope you find out soon what it really is that may be wrong with you.

Chances are if you are on BC, that you're already seeing a doctor.
I would recommend seeing them.

And as you have said, it's true.
I would not be seeing a family doctor.

A lot gets swept under the rug and they tend to do things as they "think" your
family finds appropriate when they should be treating you with your own separate morals and beliefs.

In my opinion.

I used to see one and I'm not underage.
Yet my doc made a comment that I caught onto very well.
Though my mom works in a lab with the same company as my doc...
My doc made a comment saying.
"Well you mother said she never really approved of this and that..etc."

Excuse me?
But I happen to work in the healthcare community and I think I'm an Adult and I know HIPPA enough.
You should be taking my word for things not my mother who is done raising me.

We can't help that we sometimes let things slip basically.
I made it clear that I could no long see them because it felt they were taking things a bit too personal.

But really look into someone who will take your problems seriously.
