Strange chest pain...
I keep getting a sharp, "stabbing" pain in the left side of my chest... I don't think it's actually in the heart, but in the area directly above it, a little bit above the nipple.

I also feel kind of... flushed.

I don't know what the problem could be, but it doesn't feel too nice.

 Quoting: D. Bunker


Not really "pain"... but a little discomfort perhaps on the backside of my left bicep. It comes and goes in waves... kind of co-occurring with the "stabbing" pain.

Could it simply be indigestion or heart burn?

 Quoting: D. Bunker


No, I don't think so... I don't have gas or anything, nor do I have heartburn (I tend to get acid reflux from time to time, so I know what it feels like).

But it doesn't feel serious enough to be a heart attack, of course.

...burning sensation in my ears and around my neck, though.

Ditto. The pain the left arm with pain in the chest could be trouble.

I'm trying not to bug out too much about it. I used to have panic attacks when I was young, so I'm trying to keep a cool head about it.

Re: Strange chest pain...
Odd that you ask this because I woke up feeling the same. Not so much in the arm, perhaps more around the shoulder area, but certainly above the left nipple area like a stabbing ache.

I'm putting it down to strain atm. I've changed a few things in how I do my work and wonder if i'm using muscles i'm not used to.

Re: Strange chest pain...
I used to get that when I studied.

I was not getting enough oxygen.

After 5 to 10 deep breathes, it went away.

If it is the problem, get outside if you can and walk a little.

Yeah, I've got insurance.

I'm trying to hold out. If it turns out to be something small later on, I'll regret jumping the gun and calling 911.

If it is gas, drink a large glass of water. Take a menthol cough drop it will help you burp.

But above all, see a doctor.

If you hold out it might be too late but take a asprin right now, it could save your life.

Go get an EKG. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.

GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW.

Yes, go to a hospital. Better safe than sorry. Oh and if you start to sweat, especially on your face, then call 911 pronto. That's a heart attack. Even at age 24.
