I am having severe stabbing pains in my upper back, lungs, which I also feel in the middle of my chest. When the pain comes, it takes my breath away. I have had this since last night. It does not matter if I am moving or sitting still, it comes and goes. I do not know what this may be.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac pain in your case because your chest pain is severe and sudden in onset. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and tension can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
