What Causes Chest Pressure And Breathing Pain?

I started experiencing pressure in my chest a few days ago. It felt like I was under a dresser and my ribs and chest bones were broken. I had trouble taking a deep breath. The pain stretched around to my back and down my arm to my elbow. I thought the pain would dissipate, but it has been several days and although I can walk around, the pressure in my chest continues. I threw up yesterday and have a metallic taste in my mouth today.

Thanks for contacting HCM. Dear patient you should rush to emergency room and get yourself examined immediately. Get your BP checked, Random blood sugar, E.C.G. done, as you could be having angina pectoris which should be attended to only in emergency room of a well equipped hospital.Regards
