Okay so I am getting these terrible chest pains. The "I want to kill myself chest pains."
It first occurred when I was sitting in science class and I told the teacher my chest hurt and my face was all pale so she sent me down to the nurse's office. I laid on one of those bed things for like half an hour with an oxygen tank thingy stuck up my nose. When my dad came, the pains appeared to go away, but I still went home.
They didn't happen for like 2 weeks until I was sleeping over my friends house and we stayed up until like 5 AM and then I woke up at 7 AM, play on his computer while he was sleeping, because I couldn't get back to sleep, and then I start feeling these horrible chest pains again. My friend's mom was up making breakfast for my friend's grandpa, and I started making moaning sounds so she rushed upstairs and called my dad, so he came and rushed me away to the hospital. Waiting in the hospital with these pain for 1 hour is unbearable, including the 20 minute drive. So once they go away, the doctor comes in and says it is something called the Xiphoid Process, which is growing pains that occur between 15 - 29... I was seriously stumped on this one because I never knew growing pains could be this painful. It literally felt like someone was moving around my organs from inside of me.
So now it has happened 1 more time at school again, but this time I only went home for 2 periods because I got the medicine to "fix it up," which is just ibuprofen or Advil.
Oh and also, I only got the oxygen tank in the nurse office because I could barely breathe, it didn't help with the pains at all.
