Is your heart racing when it hurts? Are you feeling anxious or stressed?  Could be anxiety-make a doctor appointment to be sure.

Its a very good possiblilty that it is a pinched nerve, most likely somewhere in your neck or shoulder.  This is the most likely reason for the numbness, unless you experience chest pain or tightness i would rule out any heart related issues.

Could be Costchondritis, inflammation of the connecting tissue of the ribs to the breast bone.  The pain can be unbelievably sharp, I know, as I had it, cleared up in about six weeks.  Stress can probably make it worse from tensing chest muscles and aggravating already inflamed areas.  Don't know your age or general medical condition, but maybe you should call your doctor's office, tell them a brief description, and see if the doc wants you to come in.  Such sharp pains are rarely heart related.  It's important that your breathing is okay other than if the sharp pain interferes with inhaling.  Use your good judgement.

Don't panic..Firstly try to rule out the Reflex acidity(if your pain is associated with indigestion,sore throat,burning type of pain,pain resolving with antacids etc etc)..\nThen try to get an ECG done so that you can rule out any cardic problem(but it seem that this chance is very unlikely by your history)..Lastly don't get anxious and try to resolve things properly ,easily but on time..\n\n\nDo follow the advice given to your Doc religeously.

One thing could be a sign of a heart attack or you may have ashtma, bronchitis's or some form of a chest cold. If you have chest pains please make sure you get tested RIGHT  AWAY.

All right, here is the deal.  I don't usually tell people what to do on this forum, but let me warn you, the excessive intergestion in the setting of chest pain is a classic sign of an inferior (meaning lower part of the heart) heart attack.  Now this may just be heartburn as suggested above, but if you are having chest pain with lots of burping right now, you may want to go to the ER just to be safe, or at least call your doctor or a nurse to ask them what to do.

Go to the doctor and find out what's going on!  Why would you want to be in pain if you can get some help?

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.

The rule of thumb is this...If you have chest pain, get to a doctor or hospital for EKG and blood tests immediately.  If it is not heart problems....GRRREAT!  If it is, you need to be treated quickly.  Anxiety can cause similar symptons as an MI and if you blow off your discomfort as nothing but anxiety....it may be the last thing you do.  A heart attack does damage to your heart...you only have one heart, do NOT diagnose your own problem!

you should get a medical opinion for a question such as this.  I get the same thing but mine is acid reflux disease.  My husband on the other hand had  the same pain and turns out that the fluid between his ribs and chest wall was not there any more.  He thought he was having a heart attack.  so you see if could be a number of things.  I would get to a Dr. real soon.

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.

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!

It could be one of many things, first off it could be GERD, something that is like heatburn but is more in the stomach and you don't have to eat spicy foods for it to act up, caffeine, chocolate and other foods can cause discomfort in your stomach and throat. It could also be that your gallbladder is inflamed and causing the pain.  These are just a few things can be going on but without an examination and history no one here can really diagnose what is wrong.  It could also be anxiety caused from being stressed out and when you stress sometimes you can hyperventilate and that can cause unexplained heart/chest pains.  You really should be checked out just to have peace of mind.\n\nTake care, let us know how you feel.

no.  this is not okay.  it sounds like you are having some issues with your heart conduction (the natural electrical impulses that control when your heart beats), and as a result your heart is not getting enough oxygen (causing pain).  your blood pressure is likely reacting to that which could be causing the headaches.  i would definitely see your primary care doctor and he/she might suggest that you see a cardiologist.

is it a muscle cramp or spasm?? massage it out with your fingers...it's called "going to sleep"....from being in one position too long - the blood stops circulating for a short period....hey, i'm no doctor... just experienced the same thing

I would suggest going to your doctor to make sure that everything is okay.  You could have a more serious form of acid reflux or angina (chest pain) due to something else.  Not trying to scare you, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

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.
