I just had this..
A stabbing pain right through my heart that caught me out of breath..
I had an ECG at the hospital... The doctor has listened to my heart and valves... My blood pressure is normal. They tell me I am fine... So i probably am.. But this doesn't stop me from having panic attacks about it.

One thing worth noting is that you can make yourself sick.
If you have slept wrong, or worked out or somehow strained your muscles a little, you can feel a pain in the chest area.
It may just be a little pain.
Obviously anything near the heart makes you worry.
If you worry about it too much you can make it get worse and worse, just by worrying.
You can get yourself so sick that you shake and get really sick.
If you worry, go see a doctor. If it can settle your mind, have him do a heart scan of you. Then you get to see that everything is ok, and can sleep better at night again.

I know how you feel but dont have any answers
I am 26 years old, 6' 7" and 204 pounds. pretty good shape. Me and my girfriend either walk, jog, or ride the bikes 2 miles ore more everynight. I drink alot of water and eat good.
The past few days i have had some very distinctive pains in my heart. It came on all of a sudden each time, usually while sitting down relaxed, or when i was driving. They are very sharp feeling and happen every few seconds that will last an hour or more. the longest was up to 2 1/2 hours. I took asprin and the first time just incase and it seemed to help and i layed down and went to sleep. The next afternoon before lunch it started again and i took asprin and it did not help this time so i took some antacids and it did not help. that episode lasted from 11:30 til 2:00. This morning it did it again but only about 20 minutes this time and it went away. I have had chest pains and heartburn in the past, but this was a completly different feeling. I quit smoking almost a year agao and i dont drink alcohol but maybe once a month if that. Usually just special ocasions. Does anyone have any thoughts

Its nice to know you all are still alive, that means maybe I still have time to see a doctor. I did like the explanation of exertion and the chest wall... That makes sense to me just because of my... lifestyle if you will. However, why is the pain directly over my heart? i don't think its normal to feel your heart hurt. For me, it feels as though someone is randomly poking me with a needle in the heart, the same spot every time. It lasts a split second, and then stops. I can't imagine it lasting any longer.
I wish there was an answer... I don't have the money to have a gazillion tests done. I'm not overweight, I exercise 3-5 times a week, I watch what I eat. I don't get it.

I wish there was an answer... I don't have the money to have a gazillion tests done. I'm not overweight, I exercise 3-5 times a week, I watch what I eat. I am however a heavy drinker. The abnormal pounding and racing of the heart I'm sure is the cause of this. When I exercise, and don't drink for a week or two, it goes away, never to return. Maybe thats my answer. Me = No more partying
I'm not a doctor, but I can tell you this... Pain in the heart, or around the heart area is a warning sign and obviously not something to take lightly. I feel like I could die at any point, or I lie awake and wonder if I'm going to wake up tomorrow. Its an awful feeling. Especially when you're young. I would suggest that since all of you are worried enough to come to this website, or do some research... then you all should go to the doctor. Go for peace of mind.

Ill just be sitting and ill feel a shooting pain right where my heart is and if i breath deep it will hurt.i dont know what to do.

Okay, so to start with, I've been having heart pains since I-don't-know-when. The pain is just below the left breast, and I think that that's the heart because I've been feeling around and there's where my pulse is strongest and I can feel it contracting and expanding etc. Recently I start getting them sharper compared to last time, sometimes very stinging, and it only lasts a few moments, followed by shallow/difficulty breathing. They come as they like, no pattern to follow at all, and any suggestions of what is the problem is welcome.
If you think it'll help, then I'll tell you that sometimes I feel nauseatic especially when in cars, and recently I've got mild headaches, no regular pattern either.

Sudden sharp pain, which hurts even more when you breathe in?
TRY BREATHING IN, ONCE, AS DEEPLY AS YOU CAN.
This may feel uncomfortable to start with, but force yourself. In my case (and I guess this will work for quite a few of you), the pain suddenly disappears in a 'popping' sensation.
Search for Precordial Catch Syndrome for more info. It was a relief for me to find that this problem is harmless - I hope it helps others.

I do not think what I have is Percordial catch syndrome, mainly because this sharp pain is always under and behind my left breast. I can actually FEEL my heart beating very rapidly when this occurs. It's not from fear because I know I am not going to have a heart attack since this has been happening to me for over 4 years. I am 30 years old and work out 4-5 times a week. I have never been overweight. I went to the doctor a few years ago and had my blood tested for everything under the sun. They also did the EKG, which I happen to feel are useless unless you are having one done during an attack. They told me I was totally healthy, but ordered and ECHO just to be safe. I did not get the ECHO done. Has anyone had an ECHO done? Did it show anything? I don't get this all the time it seems to come and go... over the past four years it could go away for as long as 10 months then show up again. Please HELP!

hello, i am a 17 year old aspiring doctor. i have been living with these same pains as desribed by the person who wrote the first entry. I have had the pains for about 4 to 5 years. i havent yet been to the doctor in fear that it will be something extremely sever. nor have i informed my parents of the pain. it sometimes wakes me up in the middle of the night and i suddenly feel a loss of breath. It is more that when i breath in it hurts worse as apose to a loss of breath. i am right there with you guys on wanting to know what this is. it is a very irritating pain that occurs about 1 to 2 every 4 days. if you hear anything please write it on here as soon as you can. i have a feeling you would be helping alot of people. and i will give the same curtousy if i am informed as to what it is and or might be!
Thank you.
Thank you.

i got the same problem as you all where as im 16. i have been to 3 docters over 4 years ever since i first had it. but as im young they have always put it down to growing pains and then they came up with the idea it was just heart burn so i was put on a heart beat recorder and showed nuffink. now im cuming up to 17 they are taking me more seriously and have booked blood tests and ultrasounds ect... so finally there mite be an answer to my problem as you all would like lol. docters pick and choose what they know and who they take seriously :@ me for example i was young so they fort i was fibbing abit, now its more more agressive with age and turns me pale and breathless also extremely tierd. apprently it doesnt help that i lift weights and do alot of running so thats just another easyer way for them to diagnose me lol the gits

same with me, its been over 6 years, sometimes these pains will last over 2 days, and ONLY in and around the heart, but hey im still living, its 2010, the doctors will probably soon start to realize whats going onn with us, good luck , be positive, and if the hospital doesnt help try going to a walk-in-clinic (:
