Every now and then I have this sharp chest pain on my right hand side. I feel so much pressure and tightness in the whole upper right area both back and front and it gets worse when I bend to pick up something. I also sometimes have the same feeling on my right only this time, my breathing gets slow and I am not able to talk effectively. When I have this feeling on my left side, I become weak and the whole of my left side is limb. It takes about 10 min and then goes away and I have had this feeling at least 4 times since 2003. I spoke with my doctor who stated she thought it was an anxiety attack and also advised I should immediately walk in the next time I feel that way???. My main concern is that it may be too late and I do not want to take a chance given I am a single parent of a 6 yr old boy. I have recently started taking 1 asprin a day(per some info I read somewhere) and it has reduced lightheadedness which I suffer every now and then. What do you think this is and what measures should I take?
