I've heard a number of other fat girls around here complain about worrisome chest pains periodically. I have also had them...at one point they were pretty bad and i was diagnosed with Costochondritis. We found that the chest pains would only happen while moving. They said it was an inflammation of the upper joints in the ribcage. They said that since it was brought on by movement, that it wasn't heart related. Of course, they also did the standard heart related tests as well. There are two specific spots that the pain will radiate from..but the more common point is usually on the left side, which can make it seem super scary.

I thought i'd mention it and maybe relieve another persons mind if they have similar type pains and can bring it up to their doctor..if they think this may be an issue for you (and also so you'll know that it's not necessarily heart related just because you might have chest pains)..I too wanted to ask if any of y'all have been diagnosed with this? It leaves and comes back periodically for me...just on a whim it seems sometimes.
