I need honest opinions please...?

Question

Before you all tell me to go to the doctor, I know. I am going tomorrow if the pain does not subside, but i just wanted a few outsiders opinions . For the past 2 days, I have had the worst headaches, and my voice has been scratchy. Today I woke up feeling nauseous, and my palms, (where my thumbs are really meaty) are really sore, as well as the rest of my body. (is sore) all day i have been having really bad chest pains on the left side, right next to my left breast, that worsens when I inhale. Ive had this before, but it's been happening all day, anywhere from 5-30 minutes apart, and goes away after a minute. My mom thinks it's pneumonia, but I just have no idea. I'm so sore, everywhere..my headache will not subside, and my chest feels like someone is stabbing me whenever i inhale or even laugh. It's been so bad that i've broken down in tears. And about 10 minutes ago, i had another pain, and when i inhaled, It felt like something "popped" in my chest. What do you think??

Answer 1

sounds like a flu. Congestion in the chest will cause pain. You need to drink lots of water to thin the congestion. The pains also sound like muscle pains...were you coughing lately? Like a cold a week ago or anything like that? Well I hope you feel better soon.

Answer 2

It looks like you are having a pleurisy.-inflammation of the pleura the lining of the lungs.It can be caused by pneumonia ,If you are an asthmatic this type of pain can occur if a bleb in the lungs has broken into the pleural cavity-pneumothorax.Since you are having severe body pains it looks more like a pneumonia.Take some analgesics,antacids,pleanty of fluids ,rest along with an antibiotic.Take an xray chest if possible to rule out a pneumothax.If pain is becoming worse go and meet a doctor in the emergency.
