Should I Worry About My Intermittent Sharp Intense Chest Pain?

I'm a 23 yo female who has never had any serious medical problem. This evening I was sitting on the couch and started having chest pain it's a sharp intense pressure in the middle of my chest. It lasts about a minute or two then will go away then a few minutes later it returns. I just took an aspirin but it's still here as of now. Just wondering if this is anything I should be seriously worried about or if it will resolve on its own.

Hi thanks for asking question in health care magic...

See never try to self medicate the drugs for any condition unless asked by doctor....

Here you have sudden chest pain..So you can consult nearby doc for ECG or ECHO investigation...
If it shows finding of ischemic heart disease then drug given for it or suitable treatment done....
It might be angina like disease...In which coronary artery stenosis present.
Angiography and angioplasty might need if it comes MI and reported within six hour.....

So rule out cardiac cause first...

If no cardiac or respi cause present then it might be simple musculoskeletal pain....

Keep these advise in mind and consult nearby doc.....

Take care...
