What Causes A Pinching Sensation In The Chest?

I keep having pains in my chest, like someone is pinching the inside of my chest. I try to rub it and push on it, and put pressure on it to make the pain to go away. I asked my mom if she knew what it was or if she has ever felt it and she said it has something to do with your milk ducts. What is it?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, this is not related to milk ducts.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause such pinching type of chest pain.
So first get done vitamin B12 level and if deficiency then you will need supplements.
If vitamin B12 level is normal then get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases because these cat also cause similar symptoms.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause pinching pain in chest.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
