What Causes Pricking Chest Pain?

Hi im a 16 year old boy. Sometimes i experience sharp pricking pain in my chest. Nothing too serious just a slight discomfort. I am a mild asthmatic and use an inhaler sparingly. The pain is occurs suddenly and usually at night before bed. It is not a regular thing though

Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted you have asthma ...

So periodic chest pain might be from bronchospasm induce by allergen...
So at that time of chest pain auscultation done for rhonchi.....
If pain severe enough nebulization by levosalbutamol and budesonide respule may need...

SOS when needed salbutamol inhaler pump taken.
Avoid contact with allergens....
Wear mask if you drive on moped.
If still repeated chest pain occurs after consulting doc and LFT done, regular long acting foracort like MDI inhaler may be started.....

Take care.
Hope your concern solved....
