  • oh wow well shut me the fuck up! Please understand that i was NOT trying to invalidate you it’s just with the heart stuff i don’t want to give bad medical advice that leads to someone being hurt.

    For me, one huge deep breath and then holding it would cause one spike of pain but then full release I assume as the fascia gets fully tugged back into alignment. Mine would generally be worse if i lay down especially on my side, that was usually when it would flare up!

    It really did just stop completely in my late 30s or early 40s though, much to my relief



  • I had every one of these items including a transparent teal pager. i didn’t have many friends nobody ever paged me but if you were trying to fit in you thought it might help. My clear swatch was blue, had the little rubber face guard on it!

    I did like the conair phones though I took the one pictured in the op image and turned it into a lineman’s handset (thanks 2600!). They were doing new home construction across the street from my home and I snuck over there in the night, hooked my handset up to the service drop and called 1-900 sex lines to troll the gals. Only they were getting paid and did not give a fuck they were happy to keep 13yo me on the line. I screwed something up and caused a huge spark and small boom and never went back because i was worried i had damaged something and they would be looking for me.

    If you are young and occasionally get sharp stabbing pains in your chest while breathing in that go away and have no other symptoms you should tell your doctor of course but also learn about Precordial Catch Syndrome

    Precordial catch syndrome (PCS) is a non-serious condition in which there are sharp stabbing pains in the chest. These typically get worse with inhaling and occur within a small area. Spells of pain usually last less than a few minutes. Typically it begins at rest and other symptoms are absent.

    Learning about this greatly reduced random anxiety for me. And it stops when you get old yay!
