How big did your chest grow once you started the pill?

---

I know one of the side effects my boyfriend is looking forward to is the growth of my chest. (He knows because he works in a pharmacy). How much did your chest grow? Was it a whole cup size or just a little bit?
My boyfriend loves me the way I am, but he's a fan of the chest and he's looking forward to it.
It varies depending on which birth control you are on. It usually can happen if it is largely estrogen- like the one I am on now (Cyestra-35). I was on Yasmin and Alesse before for around 2 years and there was no change in my chest size but as soon as I switched to Cyestra-35 mine went up a cup size in 3 months. The downside is they are sore often.  (+ info)

What is the best exercise to build chest muscle and reduce the spare tire?

---

I am 38 yrs old and in decent shape. I have been doing a lot of push ups and that is showing great visible results, but I really need to attack my spare tire and maybe move my chest focus to the upper and outside chest. I eat ok but could definately buckle down some more. I have a very physical job and workout probably once a week for real. Im really not seeing any improvement in my stomach or definition in my chest and arms. Im really looking for something i can do at home or on a quick break from work...similiar to push ups i guess. Something i can continuously chip away at. Thanks, in advance.
Re spare tire: that is fat. To burn fat, you need aerobic exercise for AT LEAST 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I recommend running.

Re chest and definition: that is muscle. bench press, inclines, declines, military press, standing rows, butterflies and reverse flies, cable pulls, lat pulldowns, rows, etc. Ask one of the trainers at your gym.

Re stomach: situps and crunches, leg lifts, isometrics, etc.

You need to do TWO things: burn off the fat and build up the muscle. Doing one without the other will not work.

See these sites for ideas....both are really good:

How can I tell the difference between heart chest pains and muscle chest pains???

---

I have been having what I consider chest "annoyances" for about the last week. I can't tell if they are heart related or muscle related. I am 27 years old and its not like I am grossly overweight. I could probably lose a couple pounds but thats about it. I did have a stress test about three months ago and passed with no problems. Heart disease does run in my family which is why I had the stress test in the first place. The pain gets worse when I move my move my chest in certain ways. Anybody have any ideas of what this could be?
You need to go see a Physician for your problem, never wait and try to figure it out yourself! Here are some things though that you could consider! I would still however go see a Physician!

There are many causes of chest pain. One is angina which results from inadequate oxygen supply to the heart muscle. Angina can be caused by coronary artery disease or spasm of the coronary arteries. Chest pain can also be due to a heart attack (coronary occlusion) and other important diseases. Do not try to ignore chest pain and "work (or play) though it." Chest pain is a warning to seek medical attention.
Causes of Chest Pain

Angina
Aortic Stenosis
Costochondritis and Tietze Syndrome
Gallstones
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Heart Attack
Peptic Ulcer
Pericarditis
Pleurisy (Pleuritis)
Pneumonia
Pneumothorax
Shingles  (+ info)

Need chest exercises that will make my pectorals not look like a women's breasts and more masculine?

---

I work out regularly and, like most people who do lift weights, find that some muscles seem to get larger quicker than other muscles. For myself, my chest and arm muscles seem to develop quickest. Unfortunately when I see myself in pictures it looks like I have breasts that look like they belong on a woman. Especially because my nipples seem to be aroused. Are there any chest exercises I can do to develop my chest so that they don't look like women's breasts?
Like eriq said, before you do any more bulking, you need to lose some weight to get rid of the excess fat padding on your chest. You may not really have that much, but once the muscle underneath starts building up, it makes it look more like breasts.

Start putting more running, jumping rope, and other aerobic exercises in your routine and try to be sure you're eating small, nutritious meals every four hours that include lean protein, veggies, fruit, wheat or brown rice, and plenty of water.  (+ info)

Has anyone on Topamax experienced chest pain and dizziness that worsens when lying down?

---

I've been on the drug for 1 month now for migraines, and am only taking 25mg/day at night. I have trouble sleeping because I'm worried about the chest pain/dizziness, and numbness in my hands and feet. I know that they can be side effects, but I don't find that too many people have chest pain as a side effect. I'm planning on going off the drug.
Numbness on hands and legs is a common side effect. I had them too. You could ask your doctor for potassium salts or simply take more bananas and orange juice. It will help to get rid of the feeling.

My neurologist gave me potassium salts and it works coz I didn't like bananas and orange juice after the taste change topamax gave me.

You might want to try resting more. Your dizziness might be caused by the lack of sleep?

Chest pain... Check your pulse. Is it too fast? Normal pulse is about 60-90per min. If it is too fast, you might want to start on beta blocker, or tell your doctor about it.

I had occassional chest pains too, then I realised that it was due to fast pulse.

Topamax takes time to adjust to your body system. It took me at least 2 months before I was adjusted to the side effects and more than 1 year before I got the correct dose for my migraine. Though I admit that I was a problematic migraineur.

Speak to your doctor. See what s/he says. 25mg is very easy to taper off if you really want to stop the drug.  (+ info)

Can you have Chest pain and problems breathing from a muscle strain?

---

I had been on bed rest for about 2 weeks. I noticed when I take showers or walk in a store and such I get chest pains and can't breathe properly. My doc says it is a strained muscle from inactivity so long does chest pain and problems breathing go in the same category as chest muscle strain? I have never heard of this. The chest pain stops almost instant after I sit back down. Any ideas?

Where can I find a chest binder that gives the appearance of male pecs and abs?

---

Breast Binding and Chest Binding are terms used for techniques that flatten breasts to create a male chest contour.
To further help those interested in answering this question, I am not looking for a permanent solution or a way out of exercising. This need if for a theatrical performance; I simple need for a female actress to look like a male character.
Sex shops?

The gym or surgeon?  (+ info)
