I have 2 friends like that. But they don't look sick. So I think its normal. Maybe its because of stress or sth which Im unsure of. I recommend you to get professional help.

Like so many; you fail to state your age. If you're in your 20's, it's probably not serious at all - in fact, it's common. If you're in your 40's-50's it needs to be check by a doc.

Yes. One cause is heartburn which is an intense pain relieved by Alcazeltzer.

i would immediately go to your family doctor or internist. they'll check you out particularly blood pressure and cholesterol levels and other blood works. if they see a problem, they will refer you to a cardiologist who will perform a treadmill test and a heart scan ( newer very effective test ) and if the results indicate that your heart is not getting the oxygen it needs, they might perform a "cardiac catherization" allowing the doctor to see the narrowing in your coronary arteries, or the blockage. according to the results, they will tell you wether or not you have CAD ( CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE).
if yes, they usually tell you how severe the blockage is. usually if the blockage is 80%, they recommend bypass surgery. if less severe the doctor might recommend coronary angioplasty whereby a stent or catherer is used to widen the clogged artery. there are different types and your doctor will explain. they also will put you on meds that improve the efficiency of the heart and reduce chest pains.you asked a very important question and only a cardiologist can diagnose the issue and recommend treatment. see your internist or family doctor. that's the first step. it's treatable but you will have to make lifestyle changes pertaining to diet/exercise/medications and monitoring your bp, all your cholesterol levels and reducing stress.
go see your doctor tommorow.
good luck.

panic attacks, anxiety attacks, indigestion, pleuracy, .....and these are all "something". I'm guessing by "nothing", you mean NOT a heart attack.

Any kind of chest pain should be seen to by your doctor. He is the best person to advise you.
I suffer from angina and when I have an attack, the pressure and pain is intense, and goes away when I use a sublingual.
Take our advice and go see a doc. Take care.

There are a lot of cause of Chest pain. However, We should always exclude and rule out cardiogenic cause (causing from heart) first . You have not mentioned your age which is one important risk factor.
Here are the list of important risk factor:
1) History of high blood pressure
2) Diabetes
3) High cholesterol
4) Men>45 years, Women >55 yrs
5) History of heart disease in the family or sudden death
Causes of Chest pain:
1) heart and it vessels (most important to rule out)
2) Lung disease
3) Gastroentrology (esophagus, Pancrease, gastritis, gall stone, ulcers)
4) Problem with Chest wall
5) Anxiety and Panic disorder
6) others like endocrine, lots of caffeine intake, Drugs and medications
It seems that you have a problem with panic attack which tends to start all of sudden and feeling of impending doom, anxiety, sweating, increase heart beat. The first things is always to do EKG to rule out heart problem.
Here are few things which you have to mention to the doctor:
Location
How severe (rate from 1 to 10)
Quality ( stabbing, burning, tearing, pressure like)
When did it start and for how long each episodes last?
Any thing that make your chest pain better or wors?
for example, food related, exertion, anxiety, increased with coffee intake, movement etc?
Does that pain moves anywhere?
I hope these answers will help you before diagnosis a simple panic or anxiety disorder.

TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.
It could be heartburn, muscle strain, etc. Pain is the body telling us something is wrong.

You should see your doctor. Pain in your chest can have many different sources (acid reflux, anxiety, heart disease, etc.). You don't have to be old or have any other symptoms to have heart disease - a guy I work with that is only 33 years old had a heart attack a few weeks ago. Its best to get it checked out and have peace of mind, if nothing is wrong you then have a baseline from which to measure any possible changes that may happen to your health later in life.

Yes, it is possible to have pain in your chest area and have it be nothing at all. But you should never take any chances.
While the source of some chest pain may ultimately not be a cause for concern (eg., indigestion, as some responded), it should always be addressed without delay, regardless of a person's age. Always have chest pain checked out asap to rule out any significant health problem. If your doctor's office is closed, go to the ER. Immediately.
Hope I helped. God bless you. †

there is a high probability that your one of the many people who suffer from good old fashion heartburn,caused by spicy foods or very high seasoned foods, if the pain gets severe have your physician check it out, there are over the counter medications as well as doctor prescribed ones that can treat the condition.consult your doctor for further information.

Why worry? Schedule an appointment with your favorite physician and ask him to determine the cause of the pain. He or she may run a series of diagnostic tests to determine whether it is a serious cardiac condition or simply gas. Start the New Year with the benefit of "knowing" what's wrong. It is also a great time to speak with him/her [physician] about weight loss regimens or smoke cessation programs. The professional support may enable you to keep resolutions!

yes, it is possible. pain from an internal organ can cause pain outside the body - called referred pain. that is why heart attacks feel like left shoulder pain. just go in for normal checkups once per year - unless the pain lasts for more than a few minutes and if it becomes severe - obviously call 911. good luck.

A pulled muscle can be quite painful in the chest and can hurt spasmotically. If you are lucky it may be that. However pain is the best indicator of a problem with the heart. Go to the doctor get your heart checked. You may not get alot more warnings if it is something serious.

True the anxiety can cause this and then make it worse. I suspect that it may be something your eating. Try and see if it is happening after you eat certain foods. This can also be one cause. Your age and physical exertion can also be a part of the problem. You can start to watch what you doing and try to see if any of this relates to your pains.
