I'm not over-weight or anorexic, I'm just a 112 lb, 5'2 girl trying to keep to a promise made over Lent and in general. To exercise more.
On Wendsay I used the treadmill, after running a pretty good bit, on one set I felt like something dropped behind my chest...It was a bit uncomfortable like something was pressing on my chest (right breast bone) but I continued to use the bike, and weights and that was that day.
Since lunch that day, and every time I've eaten that pain when I swallow something, even with a burp, it has gotten a bit worse. I became a bit more worried whilst sleeping on my back it goes away but a wrong turn or even the pillow position causes it to hurt, my breathing pauses were a bit delayed but I relaxed and was able to fall asleep after a while.
I told my mom about this yesterday. Her response as anything concerning my health? "It's probably just air in your stomach" when I told her it wasn't, as I know what happens after that (usually a nice...release! Lol!) and it wasn't like the other random pains I get that causes me to breath out slowly until it goes away...
She said she wasn't paying for a consultation. Being 18, I figured I had to find a way to do it myself. So today at dinner, like breakfast, I'm trying to eat but give up. The pain is a little distracting and I couldn't deal with it so I leave the plate of food there. My mother has the audacity to now try and say that I could've done something about it last night, blah blah, I'm a hypochondriac blah blah, stop being a moron and if you're going to disrespect me leave, all of this she is saying after I gave a simple "No it hurts to swallow" after her original question, "why aren't you eating?" and I told her to just drop trying to help because I asked her once I wasn't going for it again.
Aside for the fact that my mom is a bipolar hypocrite (she was in the hospital for a problem that could've been prevented but she kept trying to hide the pain), I'm frustrated because I would like to see a doctor, as 6 days of this is annoying, it hurts to eat to the point my appetite is lost, we don't have any painkillers but either way I'm afraid to...
I don't know of any adults that wouldn't be patronizing and just drive me to clinic or ER or something...
What should I do?

Thanks everyone; I'm planning on going to the nurse Monday afternoon - and I plan to exercise, but I won't lift weights or anything. Just stretching
And why the hell is this in the SEXUALITY CORNER?! Darn mouse always does this to me - I highlighted "HEALTH"
Mom and Dad don't give a crap and since I don't have a car, that is my last resort and hopefully she'll recommend it so that they have to!
Thanks people, sucks though because I can't even eat anything...*sighs* chocolate cake

Turns out I pulled a couple of muscles in my chest, so that area is strained...it hurts a bit but they told me to take Ibuprofen, and as far as exercise and gym (which is both because as a senior one privilege is we get to exercise instead of play games etc) I'm out for a week
or too.
