Chest pains????????????

Question

Im 21 and I have been having chest pains.. Could this be from laxitive abuse? I have been abusing the for about 2 months.

Answer 1

Could be any number of things from indigestion to impending mortality.  In many cases, apparently physical symptoms can also be psychosomatic: e.g., panic attacks.  If you feel that you've been abusing laxatives, try stopping them and see if it clears up by itself.  If you feel there's been too much stress in your life try slowing down and relaxing.

Answer 2

heart attack or indigestion and stop with the laxitives........

Answer 3

If you are having chest pains you need to go to the ER as soon as possible.  There are things in laxatives that can affect your nervous system I.E. your heart!

Answer 4

If you've been abusing laxatives this can occur due to an imbalance in electrolytes particularly potassium , certain alterations of electrolytes can cause cardiac arrhythmia's(cause your heart to beat irregular) cause this pain and can be fatal so to be safe check your self out at the nearest hospital.There are many different types of chest pain you need to be seen by a professional.
