Chest Hurts Bad On Breathe Hard, Put Pressure. What Could Be The Reason?

My chesrt hurts really bad when i breathe hard or put pressure on my chest. It's usualy really bad when I first wake up from a nap or something. It feels a little better after I burp, but it always comes back soon. I've had this for about 2 1\2 weeks, and I would really like to know what it is because I don't have insurence. PLEASE HELP!

Sounds like it could be a reflux issue. Did you try taking tums or some kind of over the counter acid blocker? Depending on your risk factors for cardiac disease you may want to be evaluated for such as well. If the symptoms persist I would recommend you go for an evaluation in the ER or Urgent Care near you.
