Does anyone know anything about Chest Pain - I'm pretty sure its not heart related.?

Oh my god!  Go to the ER!!  Ahh, not really though I am sure someone is going to answer that.  They always do.  \n\nFirst off I agree that this is extremely unlikely to be cardiac related.  I am comforted by the fact that you can replicate the discomfort by movement.  The most likely thing that you did was either a muscle strain or possibly even a sprain where the ligaments stabilize the cartilage and bone joint at about your central chest (roughly at the nipple line vertically).  If its a sprain you should be able to isolate the spot right there.  If its a strain its more likely to be generalized.  Either way  the treatment is the same.  Rest, Ice, anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen.  After a day if you are still having the discomfort you can add a warm water soak and gentle stretching to the plan.  It should resolve on its own within the week.\n\n(Oh, and I really buy the getting ready for bed story wink wink)\n\nGood luck.. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Digestion problems, stress, inflammation infection, there are many things. Check webmd there is a symptom check list for chest pain. There is nothing more scary than chest pain. I hope you feel better soon.

first you need to relieve your stress!!!\n no this is not a condition of the heart. stress is [by itself] but you need to go back and tell your doctor about this condition immedisately!!! [like yesterday]!!!\n this is a serious condition that requires immediate attention.

I would say the key to your question is that the pain intensifies with movement. This is usually not indicative of cardiac problems. Have you tried any over the counter meds for pain relief? If it is not relieved with meds I would suggest a trip to the Dr. but it does seem like muscle or back problem.

Absolutely.  Chest pains are nothing to fool with.  Go to the emergency room, better safe than sorry.  If it turns out to be serious, see an atty who specializes in medical malpractice.  Your doctor should never make jokes about anything you ask her about.

Yes it can. It could be the sign of an Ulcer. Also, I had a heart attack and I didn't have any chest pain at first it started in my back.

Right sided chest/shoulder pain can be caused from your gallbladder and also your appendix.  It's called referred pain.\n\nI am not saying that is what is going on, but it could be an option.  You need to tell someone and see a Dr. for a definitive answer.\n\nFeel better soon.

Yikes, quick ask a doctor!  Sorry, but tightness in the chest is a serious symptom so don't look for an amateur explanation.

Hey JJJ I looked up some info I hope this helps..\n\nChest Pains\nLots of things cause chest pains. How do you know if you should call 911? \n\nSome chest pains are minor problems such as muscle aches and gas bubbles. Others are more serious such as an inflammation of the lining of the heart or lungs, ulcers, gallbladder attack, acid reflux or blood clots to the lung. \n\nMost importantly, some pains can be the only warning sign of a life-threatening heart attack, where a few minutes can make the difference between life or death. \n\nHeart pains generally are located under the breastbone or across the upper chest. They may also go down either arm (not just the left arm), up to the neck or jaw, or through to the back. \n\nMost people describe heart pain as a deep pressure, ache, burning or squeezing. Some say it is like a belt tightening around their chest or a heavy brick laying on them. Rarely is heart pain sharp like a knife or excruciating like hitting your thumb with a hammer. \n\nOften heart pain is accompanied by other symptoms, most commonly profuse sweating, nausea, dizziness or difficulty breathing. \n\nHeart pains are often provoked or worsened by emotional stress or physical activity, but they can also come on when you are doing nothing more than reading or watching TV. They don't come and go in a few seconds, rather heart pains generally build up and go away over a minute or two. \n\nDonít goof around with chest pains. Stop doing whatever you are doing. Don't wait until morning to see if they will be better. You should call 911 immediately if you have unexplained chest pains that: \n\nLast more than 10-15 minutes. \nAre associated with difficulty breathing or dizziness. \n\n\nSharp pains in the heart, could it be caused by anxiety?\n\nAnd here is a link as well... http://www.breathing.com/articles/chest-pains.htm\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_pain\n\nI hope that helps... God Bless

I have this, my doctor told me this was normal.  It's just the chest compensating for the space the heart takes up.  You must be very thin, as this was the case with me.  If you put on muscle weight it will even out.  Don't worry about it though, it time it will become less noticable.

Sounds more like a pinched nerve if the ER is saying nothing is wrong.  However, since the ER could not do a stress test or an MRI it is tough to be sure that it is not your heart.

I got that before too, a couple of times already. The moment i had it i thought i'm getting a heart attack but mine always go away after a day. I think i kinda pulled the muscles while sleeping. If your lung still hurts after a day or two i suggest u see a doctor. Take care!

How often does this happen?  It's important to take chest pains very seriously, they could be signs of a heart attack or stroke.  Is it hard to breathe?  You should see a doctor ASAP, at least to rule out any heart issues.  I'm a nurse so please take my advice.\nYou'll be okay sweetie.

See your doctor.  Chest pain is not something to fool around with, period.  It might just be anxiety, but it could be something a whole lot worse.  Go to your doctor and put your mind at ease.

Um, you better get to a doctor ASAP. It sounds like a heart attack, or heart murmur. And don't laugh it off, even if you think you're too young. I had a co-worker who had a terrible heart attack at age 19. It happened at work, she was complaining about something similar to yours. A few hours later, she stood up to leave, and just passed out. We had to call the ambulance. She survived, but had to quit working.
