i am 27 years and have had a funny sharp pain in my chest - in about the middle. i sort of feel like doing deep breaths all the time to relieve it slightly. it comes and goes, somedays i don t get it at all......what do you think it would be and why? Thanks Elise
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you are having mostly anxiety related chest pain. Because your age is too young (27) for heart problems. But better to get done ECG first to rule out cardiac cause. If ECG is normal than no need to worry much for cardiac cause. It seems anxiety related mostly. Anxiety is the major risk factor for acid reflux. So central burning pain is because of this acid reflux. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions to identify stressor in your life. Start working on it and avoid stress, tension. Be relax and calm.
