Little twings are very common in the chest, lots of muscles & ligaments and of course the digestive area. Stress can bring on anxiety and tightness in the chest aswell, and the more you think about it the more your likely you feel the odd twings.
Have you thought of paying for a full medical check up? Plenty of private hospitals offer this service now.

My wife had a problem with her medical, as there were some calcfications on her xray. However, they, and we in the UK, had it checked out, and it was dormant TB, and therefore, luckily nothing serious. The only thing is, they want my wife to report to medical people when we get there, so that they can verify she has the all clear, and if not, then they can treat her.
Luckiy for us, it will not stop us moving. however, the mere fact that there was something there, we went to casualty in the UK, and it turned out she had another infection, and that has now been cleared. Had we not gone to casualty, I would fear about going for another medical there, when we land.
Moral of the story? any doubts about anything, don't waste time, get it checked out ASAP.

Don, how do you go about arranging the medicals? Is there a list of hospitals that Nz House approve of?

Just returned from Medical & seemed OK - they will post the xrays & medicals forms back to us & we then forward them - he did not indicate that there was any problem so fingers crossed that we are OK.
We are still waiting for the police checks - hopefully will not be too long - what comes next? Do we just wait & hope now. How long before we know whether we have it or not?
