Top Tips to Treat Chest Pain
Chest pain is a serious symptom meaning “heart attack” to most people. Serious chest discomfort should usually be evaluated by a physician right now. On the way to the emergency room or while waiting for the ambulance, take two aspirin tablets. While pain from the heart may sometimes be mild, it is usually intense. Sometimes a feeling of pressure or squeezing on the chest is more prominent than actual pain. Nearly always the pain or discomfort will be felt in part below the breastbone. It may also be felt in the jaw or down the inner part of either arm. There may be nausea and sweating. If dizziness, shortness of breath, or irregularity of the pulse is present, it is particularly vital that a physician be seen immediately.

It aims both to de-rotate (untwist) the twisted spine and rib cage, and to improve lung capacity (so-called vital capacity). Search the web on Schroth method to find a therapist. I’ll list below the personal web page of the longtime director of the German Schroth clinic and her book that describes her system.
