What Causes Sharp Pain In The Middle Of The Chest?

Today during class I had a sharp intense pain in the middle of my chest approximately where the breast bone is. The pain lasted a second or two then went away. But occurred about two hours later then went away. And occurred about twenty minutes later. Then occurred again 5 minutes later. And a fourth time about 5 minutes later. What s wrong?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

According to history it seems to be musculoskeletal pain....

Do rest for few days....
Avoid strenous activities....
Heavy weight lifting avoided....
Simple analgesic can be taken ...
Hot pad application can be done ....
Take proper sleep posture ....

Second if you have gastritis or acidity like issue then treat it with omeprazole capsule...

And yes if pain constricting and severe with radiate to arm , neck than investigate with blood pressure checking , ECG , Echo needs to be done ....

Hope I have solved your query.....
