What is this sharp chest distress?


For two days now I've be experiencing sharp pain surrounded by my lower chest/upper stomach area. It feel sort of like heart burn, but not exactly alike. It comes and goes. Sometimes it's on the right side, sometimes the gone, sometimes in the middle. I do enjoy acid reflux, but I've be taking my medicine and haven't have any trouble with it for a few weeks. It also doesn't touch the same as my sharp reflux. I don't know if this is something I should worry almost and see my doctor or if it will just go past. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Leg "pain"... What would you do in my shoes ?


First of all, chest pains aren't something to pocket lightly - if you're sure it isn't heartburn or acerbic reflux, you should see a doctor quickly.

A couple of years ago I have a similar experience - it started out much as you described, and over the course of three or four days it gradually get worse, until it started to feel approaching someone was sitting on my chest. Of course, the more I worried nearly it, the worse I felt.

When I finally go to the doctor, she suspected it was tart reflux, which I've never had since. An EKG pretty much ruled out heart trouble, but she ordered a chest x-ray just to be not detrimental. The x-ray didn't show any heart trouble, either - but it DID show a bit of fluid within my lungs, which she diagnosed as mild pneumonia.

After less than a week on antibiotics it go away completely and hasn't been pay for.

Naturally, everybody's different, and I'm not a doctor - but the symptoms you're describing are very much close to the ones I had.

I think you should move about to the ER and have it checked out. (May be serious)

I enjoy a cut that is moderately small in length and more or less 1/2cm deep and its itching close to crazy! Help!?

It could be any number of problems....The bottom line is age...yes I said age. If you are young at heart and have no risk factor for heart disease, and you are not experiencing any shortness of breath, or numbness/tingles anywhere...then it is probably not cardiac related. However you can never be 100% sure of this. It could be impudence bladder, pancreatitis, pnemonitis, pleuritis, dodenal ulcer, or impediment of the bile duct. In any of these cases you would still need to aim medical attention.
Bottom line is progress to your doctor.

Yes, I agree with the majority consensus [here] that you should budge to ER at once. I seldom tell this when I donate advice, but within your case, this is something that requires some prompt action on your section. So get to an ER at once. Good Luck!
