Beth and Barbara,

Why don't you go get checked out? When I was having chest pains, they just
kept getting worse because I was so stressed out worrying about what was
wrong. In my case, it turned out just to be stress. It could have been
angina, which does need to be dealt with. Another possibility, very common,
is mitral valve prolapse, which is usually benign but painful when you're
stressed out. The third possibility, which is what I have, is just stress
in the muscles of the chest.

Go for the peace of mind! I've been feeling better since I found out (last
Friday). Before that, it seemed worse and worse because I was so worried.

Good luck,
Aurore
