Reason For Mild Pain And Discomfort In The Chest

Hello, I am 19 years old, do not smoke, drink ocasionally, however I drink a glass of wine every 2 days. I have experiencing a fluttering feeling in the middle of my chest, only lasts like a secon or 2, however it makes me feel like I am experiencing shortness of breath, however, it only lasts like 2 seconds. After that, there is a very slight ache in the middle of my chest, but it disappears. Wanted to know, what this is, if this is normal or dangerous, and what I can do to prevent it. I am hypochondria, so even if this is little, it really scares me! Thank you for your time, have a great day.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this chest pain. Considering the information you have provided, there are very little chances for this t be actually caused by a
heart problem. It may be related to anxiety or panic disorders. However, if the symptoms should persist, please try to get consulted for examination and testing. A primary care doctor would be a great person to start with.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Feel free to ask for clarifications and more information if need be. I wish you well. Thanks for utilizing our services, we very much appreciate it.
