What could be causing sharp pains in the center of my chest, besides heart problems?I am a woman in my early 30's & I have been very healthy all my life.Recently, I have begun to have sharp stabbing pains & pressure in the center of my chest. It is sometimes difficult to breathe & slightest activity increases the pain, for example, just bending over to put on my shoes.When I first wake up in the morning I am often light headed & generally very tired & weak.The pain was so bad today that I had to go to the ER.The doctor ran a series of tests (including an EKG, TB X-ray, etc.) & everything checked out fine.I was discharged the suggestion that maybe the pain was from muscular/tissue strain in the center of my chest & given a prescription for pain (Coedine).
Has anyone ever had similar problems but found out the exact cause, or does anyone have any ideas of what the problem might be? I have never been one to complain about pain, but this really hurts & seems to be more than just muscular/tissue strain. No history of heart disease in my family, I am not on any meds.

Maybe a form of pectoril angina. That is when the pectoril muscle around the heart has a cramp. It does make it difficult to breathe. I hope you get to feeling better soon!

Go YOUR doctor... Run don't walk!!! I wouldn't accept the ER'S diagnoses. Sounds like heart trouble or attack to me.

It sounds like it could be muscle strain...I have experienced similar pain...it is wise that you seen a doctor, however if this persists, you should follow up and get another opinion
