What Causes Sharp Intermittent Pain In The Chest?

I have been having periodic short sharp pain on the right side in chest area. It happens very infrequently and with out warning. I am always walking when it occurs. Pain is not that bad, it happens just for a second. NO SHORTNESS OF BREATH OR DIZZINESS AT ALL.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your complain you have problem of chest pain that may be because of cardiac or lung related problem. Detail history and physical examination give exact idea about problems. Mention the intensity and duration of pain with aggravating factor. Auscultation of respiratory sound is helpful in diagnosis. ECG can be done for further diagnosis. Consult a physician for further diagnosis.
