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

Stimulants can certainly play a role in heart problems leading to attacks, but any chronic insomnia could have an eventual effect on your heart.\n\nLack of sleep doesn't give your body the opportunity it needs to physically recharge.  Sleep allows the heart to beat at a much lower rate and your metabolism to slow down.  The longer you remain awake, the more work your heart has to do before you give it a rest.  Long-term, this could cause the heart to behave irregularly.

Ouch. Poor baby, that must have hurt. I would say you should try to sleep as best you can and see how you are in the morning. If it still hurts you might should go get it looked at, either by a chiropractor or an MD.

when i used to work out at the gym using weights i started getting a similar sort of pain and went to see my doctor as i thought it was my heart, he told me i had torn a muscle in my left armpit and gave me tablets to fix it, but i seriously used to think i was having a heart attack as the pain also shot down my left arm. It could also be severe wind  i know it sounds stupid but wind can travel anywhere in the body. But i would get him to your doctors to be safe. good luck.

Are you sure its heartburn and not chest pain? Chest pain isn't always sharp stabbing pains. Call your cardiologist.

How old are you? Does your chest hurt all the time, or only when you breathe deep? Do you have any swelling in your legs, or anywhere else? Either symptom you gave could be serious, and need to be checked out by your Dr. You could have bronchitis, pneumonia, or even more serious problems such as Congestive Heart Failure-which doesn't mean you have had a heart attack, neccesarily. GO TO THE DR!

I assume you are a full-fledged adult. That pulse rate is high at rest. get to see your doctor, especially about the pain on exercise. You could be having myocardial ischemia or angina pectoris. Your doctor will have you do an EKG done to evaluate this.

It's gotta be mornings because you get morning dew and it smells so fresh out side and ready to continue the rest of the day.  If you have a bad morning you don't have a good rest of the day.\n\nSmile and be happy for mornings.\n\nBy the way, it's when people are the hornest and that's always a plus!!!

Call your doctor or go to the emergency room. These can be serious heart symptoms...

How often does this happen?  It's important to take chest pains very seriously, they could be signs of a heart attack or stroke.  Is it hard to breathe?  You should see a doctor ASAP, at least to rule out any heart issues.  I'm a nurse so please take my advice.\nYou'll be okay sweetie.

look i'm 18 years old and i've had chest pain since i was like 7 or 8 anyway i know how you feel not knowing what's wrong. i've been told it was caused by lifting stuff i'd strained/streched some muscles in my chest, i slept wrong, that they're panic attacks, it was caused by coughing due to a cold, that i had plorisy (or however you spell it), no one to this day can tell me what's wrong. i've been through the blood work, ekg's, ect. and they can't find anything wrong. i think it because when they schedule these things, during the time of having them done i'm not having the pain, so i guess that's why the basiclly tell me that it's all in my head. but hey i'm here for ya. it might take a while but in time they'll find out it's not all in out heads. in the mean time if you need omeone to talk to that understands the pain e-mail me at wolfspan16@yahoo.com . good luck though i know how painful they can be.

Does your heart beat funny for a second or two?  If so, I get that.  It's related to anxiety and stress.  I also got it a lot when I smoked or drank caffeine.  Call your doc and make sure it's nothing serious though.

I think that when you wake up crying, your subconscious is going through something in your life that might have made you sad, or you had a bad dream; then not remembered it upon waking.

Is your heart racing when it hurts? Are you feeling anxious or stressed?  Could be anxiety-make a doctor appointment to be sure.
