I have an occasional twinge in the center of my chest at the bottom of the chest bone. They occur about every two hours and last about one second. No other pain, shortness of breath, etc. It does not happen when I exercise on the treadmill, but rather when I am at rest. Should I be concerned
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, no need to worry worry about such twinge sensations in chest because you are not having chest pain or breathlessness or other alarming symptoms. But I would like to rule out any heart and lung pathology for this symptom. So get done ECG and 2d to rule out heart diseases. Get done chest x-ray to rule out lung pathology. If all these are normal then no need to worry about these sensations. Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension if you are having stressful life and be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
