What Causes Sharp Pain In Chest?

ive been having a rash on my a for the past 2 years. It comes and goes. And it came back. I ve had it for 3 months now. Everyone is telling me it s a stress rash. Every once in a while I would get sharp pains in my chest. Well the last 3 days my breathing has increased. And chest has hurt and pains are crazy. I know it s weird to say but sometimes I can feel my heart hurt. I just want to cry. I have had no energy to do anything. I could sleep all day long if I could. Last night I walked home with having horrible stabbing pains in my chest and my arms went weak.... What should I do and what does that mean? I m scared for the answer but I ve put this off to long

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for your symptoms.
So better to get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Also get done chest x ray to rule out lung pathology because your symptoms like chest pain, breathing difficulty etc are seen in Pulmonary diseases.
If this is also normal than you are mostly having anxiety related symptoms.
So better to consult psychiatrist.
Get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Anxiolytic drugs are also important in your case. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
