Burning Chest
Right now, my chest is starting to burn and contract, and it feels quite uncomfortable. I didn’t know what caused this to start, and the burning sensation came straight out from the blue.
Now it has abated somewhat, but the intensity is like a volume knob alternating from mute to full blast. It is bearable, so I am wondering if I need medical attention for this. This has not happened to me before, and to be frank, I don’t really know what to do.
Guess I’ll sleep for the night and see if this feeling follows the morrow. If it persists, I would have to get to the doctor’s as fast as possible, I think. Otherwise, I might need to schedule a check-up soon. To be frank, I am scared. After all the sudden deaths of so many National Servicemen, I fear that I might have the same condition that killed them: Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Please tell me I am over-reacting.

It turned out to be heart burn.
Guess I got to watch my diet properly…

Oh dear, Belinda, I definitely can feel your pain. In this case, would you consider seeing a doctor at a hospital? I suppose a hospital has better diagnostic equipments, which hopefully can help you!
I hope you’ll get better soon!
