Considering your age and health it could be heart problem, may angina, unexplained heart pain or clogged arteries…even young people are not exempt from this. It could be gas, only a doctor will know the difference. It sounds like that you need to go in for good physical.
you should see a doctor right away. The pain could be caused by a heart disorder or an atrial problem which could become very serious if untreated.
It wouldnt hurt to go see a doctor about it,you dont want to take any chances.It could be something simple yet it also could be something serious.Good luck!
Does it hurt when u move? does it hurt more when u lay on your back or belly? Does it hurt when u breathe? More specifics and maybe i can help u because i have same problem and have been to hospital and doctors many times.
A lot of people are saying that it could be a heart problem which while true, in my opinion is less likely than it being a G.I. disturbance, for example, acid-reflux or gas. The reason I say this is because based on your description, it sounds like you had no other symptoms besides brief pain. Often, heart problems present with more than just chest pain. Other symptoms that could signal a heart problem include weakness, shortness of breath, pain that radiates to your jaw or shoulder, fainting, nausea, fast heart beat, confusion–too many to mention. If this is the first time that you’ve ever experienced this pain, keep an eye on it and track your symptoms. If you HAVE experienced this pain before, I would make an appointment with your Doctor right away. If you want to err on the side of caution, call your doctor, let him/her know your symptoms, and see if they want you to come in. Best of luck to you!
