Breathing Trouble...?!
Question: Breathing Trouble....?
I don't usually exhibit any of the "habits" of a woman my size (I'm fat, lol) ... I don't do the heavy breathing, I'm very flexible, I sprint pretty fast, and besides some chronic back pain (my spine is pretty screwed up) I don't really have any health problems...
BUT a little bit ago (like less than 3 hours ago) it started to twinge a bit when I breathe... right now it feels like someone is pushing a hand on my chest, about 4 inches to the left of center and sort of "middle" between my breast and my neck... Every time I breathe in it "presses" harder... and there's a sort of "jabbing" (not stabbing, but jabbing, like being poked with a finger) on my lower-mid back, to the left of center.
Omg, and I just hiccupped & it felt like I got punched in the chest and the back at the same time... (so not cool)
All that and my neck is sore...
Any ideas as to what I should do.? (I don't like taking pain meds, so I only do when I have to) ... also, breathing deeper makes the pain worse...Health Question & Answer

Sounds more like stress to me. You'd be having more problems if it were a heart attack. Just calm down. What have you eaten.? There is one thing though, the chronic back pain. I'd find out what is causing that. Do something.? Study, weight loss exercises, etc.Health Question & Answer

Well, go to the doctor immediately, and you said your fat. You need to fix this problem.
Try the below diet plan.
Calories aren't everything. Timing of meals and planned exercise and the right kinds of foods are just as important as the amount of calories. Anyway, http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/bmi-m.ht... is a good website to check your BMI (body mass index). It has details of recommended weight for the height.. There are many health risks which are included in being obese, such as diabetes, heart attack, high blood pressure, clogged arteries, loss of energy and enjoyment of life and many, many more.
But here is a very good diet plan:
My suggestion for weight loss is to diet. Don't crash diet. 99.99% of crash diets don 't work. Because when the body is starved and deprived of food, the body slows down the metabolism, so it burns body fat at a much slower pace than usual. Then when you start eating again, you will probably go on a "binge" and eat the equivalent calories and portion of food comparitive to several meals, therefore no weight loss will occur.
Foods generally high in carbs are bread, pasta, cakes, flour (anything with high flour content), sugar, potatoes. Anything that is filling contains plenty of carbohydrates. Low GI Foods are also good, especially when dieting.
My suggestion for a good, healhy diet would be to eat 4 - 5 SMALL meals a day, making the overall calary intake and portions of meals equivalent to a standard daily intake of food. Eating 4 - 5 small meals a day will keep your metabolism burning fast, because it is never deprived of food, and never overwhelmed of food and bloating will not occur. Try eating wholegrains and cut down arificial sugar intake. Natural sugar, such as the sugar in apples is much healthier than processed sugar found in chocolate, lollies, etc. Soft drinks are to be strictly limited or prohibitied as they contain a large amount of artificial syrup, which gives soft drink the smooth flavour. Stay away from that. Drink 6 - 10 glasses of water per day to help digest food. Fish is also good. It has essential vitamins and oils (healthy oils, but still fatty and intake should be limited).
Alcohol. Alcohol is full of carbs, especially sugar. The yare unneeded calories. Instead of drinking beer, or buying premix drinks, buy a bottle of his favourite alcoholic drink in a bottle, and buy diet soft drink to mix it with. Whilst the alcohol still contains calories, many calories are lost in the loss of sugar from the change to diet soft drinks. I personally do this, even though I am not dieting. I just constantly cut down sugar anywhere I can. One thing that may turn him off diet drinks is that it seems to be sterotypical for diet drinks to be "feminine" and for "gay people" although this isn't true, more than likely just an excuse to drink normal soft drinks.
Exercise moderately. Good exercise includes runnning (preferable running, not run-walk-run-walk), walking, swimming, cycling, aquaaerobics or aerobics + more. 30 minutes of daily exercise plus a well balanced diet should see you losing weight, whilst enjoying a healthy and fun lifestyle. Doing some light weights should tone you. So try 20 minutes of light weights every day, and you should have good weight loss and see the results quickly. However no one can tell how long it will take you to lose the weight. It all depends on your body and your genetics, etc.
One more personal trick i use is drink diet energy drinks, or just diet soft drinks. They raise your energy level with the caffeine / guarana or whatever is in them. However, when caffeine is taken, it is best to not eat within one hour of caffeine consumption. Caffeine, when taken without meal, slightly raises the metabolism, burning fat faster than usual, however when taken with food, it slows the metabolosm slightly. I personally like to drink sugarfree V energy drinks, because i get an energy boost without any calories. Pepsi max or coke zero / diet coke are also good. But just watch the caffeine levels.
If you follow this diet for a few months (the actual time varies from person to person, because of their metabolic rate, etc), you should see immediate results, with results following. However, a common mistake is that when a diet is finished, the dieter goes back to their old eating habits again, and regains alot of the weight. permanent life style changes MUST be made for this to be a permanent success.
But good luck
