Random Pain in chest?

Question

I have been getting a random pressure in my chest about 2-3 times a day it lasts for 2-3 seconds and it only hurts a little. I am 19 and have major stress in my life right now.

I got really drunk last night and stoned and I layed on my bed and my heart was racing and i felt a pop in my chest It didnt hurt at all. It might have just been from taking a deep breath and my back cracked because it does that sometimes.

Answer 1

A heart check up with a cardiologist should be done as soon as possible.  No if and but, you seem to be having transient ischemia.

Answer 2

midlife crisis at 19

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

If you have major stress it can be stress induced. Im only 15 and my dad had pains like that in his chest he went to the hospital and if you dont take something for it you could end up with a stress induced heart-attack my dad is also 40 and had probably more stress in his life but it still could happen

Answer 6

You're dead.

Answer 7

Hmmm i reccomend you stop with the drugs, heart raceing is a side affect and could lead to heart problems.

Answer 8

If it's not painful there's little cause for worry.  I had some irregular heartbeats some years ago, and they were due to Preventricular contractions (PVCs), where the heart made the next beat early, and then wait for the normal time for the next beat.  The heart took a big gulp as it waited for the next beat, and that was what I felt.  This might not be the same as what is happening to you.  Mine were not painful at all, just weird, and you described some pain.

When I went in to be tested, the doctor asked me about coffee intake and so on, because stimulants can worsen heart irregularities.  Life stress can also worsen the problem.  You should go to a doctor to find out exactly what this is.  If you're lucky, you might go through it with the heart monitor attached, and you can find out exactly what it is.  The doctor can also give you advice about how to lower the stress in your life. so you can give your heart an easier ride.

Answer 11

I have heart spasms occasionally, but when I have the pains you are describing it is normally something I have made sore or pulled something. It never hurts to get an EKG. Good luck.
