What Causes Random Cramps In The Chest?

I am experiencing random cramps in the chest on my left side most of the time and once in a while on my right. It's almost as if it feels like a muscle cramp from doing a chest exercise but I haven't been to a gym and done any chest exercises. Whenever I get these cramping sharp pains I just take slow deep breaths and it goes away in seconds. What could this be?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
thanks for your question
i completely understand your question
you should consult a pulmonologist who can get a chest xray done and lead toa certain cause
actually chest pain is due to a variety of causes like costochondritis , neuralgias , neuropathy, pleural effusion.
in your case it seems like a neuralgia or a component of muscle aches
for now take some analgesics like paracetamol and a methylcobalamin tablet after consulting your pulmonologist , you need a prescription for these medications
thanks
feel free to ask more questions
may god bless you with good health
