Yes it can. It could be the sign of an Ulcer. Also, I had a heart attack and I didn't have any chest pain at first it started in my back.

Tightening chest muscle, a tight chest. Also a pain down the left arm is a sgn of a heart attack. Feeling nauseated is a common symptom and she may have felt really groggy. Please do yourself a favour and get her checked out. Its better to be safe than sorry

How long have you had that job?  If you just started working in those conditions then your back may be having trouble adjusting to it.  If you have worked in that environment for a long time then it could be messing up your spine slowly and painfully.  \n\nThe cause of your pain could be other things as well.  It could be gas trapped up behind your ribs.  That's always very painfull.  Or it could be the linings of your lungs (I forget the name) getting dry and rubbing against each other causing sharp pain.  Or it could be heart trouble!  Whatever it is you should see a doctor about it, especially if it keeps hurting.\n\nYou should probably buy a new office chair that will support your back better.\n\nP.S. Remember, always consult a doctor if you feel the need regardless of advice given on this site.

pain in the lower back could be a kidney stone, but it doesn't correlate with the blood in the trunk. \n\ngo to your doctor!

I urge you in the strongest possible terms to have your symptoms investigated immediately.  I think the emergency room would be appropriate.\n\nYour kids need you, and you need your heart.  \n\nIf your problem is not a heart problem, well, great.  That will be good to know.  But please don't delay getting help.  Chest pain is not something to ignore.

Depending on the location of the back pain, it could be a kidney infection, a UTI,  a bladder infection, or just straight back pain from using muscles too much. The nausea is something that could come with anything or at anytime. I would say it could be a UTI or a Kidney infection. Go see a doctor soon though 3 months is too long if its any kind of these infections.

Chest pain may result from angina, heart attack, and other serious diseases. If you experience chest pain, consider it a warning for you to seek medical attention and treatment. While chest pain may be a warning of a heart attack, it may result from other disorders, such as another heart condition, lung disorder, or from a gastrointestinal problem. Chest wall pain is a relatively harmless chest pain caused by muscle and cartilage tenderness in the chest wall. In any event, you should seek immediate medical attention when you experience undiagnosed chest pain.

There are 1780 results in the "search for questions" regarding chest pain and probably every one of them had someone suggesting that you call 911.  Read on.\n\nHeart attacks and true cardiac symptoms almost never present as sharp pains (I would have said never but there is probably someone out there who had true cardiac pain that was sharp.)  All you have to do on this forum is MENTION chest pain and one or a couple people will insist that you phone 911 or rush to the ER.  That is probably not necessary.\n\nYou provide no information about your medical history but risk factors for cardiac problems are even more important than your symptoms since the symptoms are unusual.  The big five for heart disease are:  cholesterol, family history for premature heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and smoking.  If you are a woman and under age 40 I imagine you would have to have EVERY risk factor for you to have true coronary disease.  Even if this problem is not cardiac and you do have EVERY risk factor then (1) Its time to clean up your act - loose weight, drop the cigarettes and get your blood pressure and cholesterol treated.  (2) Talk with your primary doctor about getting a referral to a cardiologist.\n\nNow back to your question - this could be everything and nothing.  If you are really ill, use good judgement (short of breath, sweaty, nausea and vomiting, sense of impending doom) and have it evaluated and treated tonight.  If this is some sort of minor nagging sensation that just has you concerned, call your primary physician tomorrow and get it evaluated routinely.  \n\nA word of caution:  just because you go in does not mean that a cause will necessarily be found.\n\nGood luck and be well.

Go see a doctor for the best answer, but it sounds more like a pinched nerve.\n\nIf you have a history of heart disease, you need to take care to exercise regulalry (get your back looked at too) eat a healthy diet full of nutrients and fiber, and keep your weight in a healthy range. it's also best to not smoke, keep the alcohol at moderate levels and kick any caffeine out of your routine.

Oh my god!  Go to the ER!!  Ahh, not really though I am sure someone is going to answer that.  They always do.  \n\nFirst off I agree that this is extremely unlikely to be cardiac related.  I am comforted by the fact that you can replicate the discomfort by movement.  The most likely thing that you did was either a muscle strain or possibly even a sprain where the ligaments stabilize the cartilage and bone joint at about your central chest (roughly at the nipple line vertically).  If its a sprain you should be able to isolate the spot right there.  If its a strain its more likely to be generalized.  Either way  the treatment is the same.  Rest, Ice, anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen.  After a day if you are still having the discomfort you can add a warm water soak and gentle stretching to the plan.  It should resolve on its own within the week.\n\n(Oh, and I really buy the getting ready for bed story wink wink)\n\nGood luck.. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Could be Costchondritis, inflammation of the connecting tissue of the ribs to the breast bone.  The pain can be unbelievably sharp, I know, as I had it, cleared up in about six weeks.  Stress can probably make it worse from tensing chest muscles and aggravating already inflamed areas.  Don't know your age or general medical condition, but maybe you should call your doctor's office, tell them a brief description, and see if the doc wants you to come in.  Such sharp pains are rarely heart related.  It's important that your breathing is okay other than if the sharp pain interferes with inhaling.  Use your good judgement.

Hey JJJ I looked up some info I hope this helps..\n\nChest Pains\nLots of things cause chest pains. How do you know if you should call 911? \n\nSome chest pains are minor problems such as muscle aches and gas bubbles. Others are more serious such as an inflammation of the lining of the heart or lungs, ulcers, gallbladder attack, acid reflux or blood clots to the lung. \n\nMost importantly, some pains can be the only warning sign of a life-threatening heart attack, where a few minutes can make the difference between life or death. \n\nHeart pains generally are located under the breastbone or across the upper chest. They may also go down either arm (not just the left arm), up to the neck or jaw, or through to the back. \n\nMost people describe heart pain as a deep pressure, ache, burning or squeezing. Some say it is like a belt tightening around their chest or a heavy brick laying on them. Rarely is heart pain sharp like a knife or excruciating like hitting your thumb with a hammer. \n\nOften heart pain is accompanied by other symptoms, most commonly profuse sweating, nausea, dizziness or difficulty breathing. \n\nHeart pains are often provoked or worsened by emotional stress or physical activity, but they can also come on when you are doing nothing more than reading or watching TV. They don't come and go in a few seconds, rather heart pains generally build up and go away over a minute or two. \n\nDonít goof around with chest pains. Stop doing whatever you are doing. Don't wait until morning to see if they will be better. You should call 911 immediately if you have unexplained chest pains that: \n\nLast more than 10-15 minutes. \nAre associated with difficulty breathing or dizziness. \n\n\nSharp pains in the heart, could it be caused by anxiety?\n\nAnd here is a link as well... http://www.breathing.com/articles/chest-pains.htm\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_pain\n\nI hope that helps... God Bless

you should get a medical opinion for a question such as this.  I get the same thing but mine is acid reflux disease.  My husband on the other hand had  the same pain and turns out that the fluid between his ribs and chest wall was not there any more.  He thought he was having a heart attack.  so you see if could be a number of things.  I would get to a Dr. real soon.

One symptom of a heart attack is that you can experience jaw pain which i suppose could go up to your teeth.  Considering your dad has a history of heart problems, he should probably get it checked out.  Best of luck!
