Being in the air conditioning hurts my chest pretty bad, I can't be in it for too long. They say you shouldn't take any chance with chest pain though. Does it happen at any particular time of the day, or when you're doing anything? Do you get short of breath or dizzy or have any other symptoms? It could just be something as simple as angina or stress, but it's best to have it checked out.

Definitely see your doctor.  Tightness in the chest is not something to mess with!

You should go to the doctor to confirm that but when is about a fracture one of the symptoms is indeed a very strong pain in a speciffically spot where the fracture is located. May be you need medical treatment like a cast or inmovilizer, or just a litle more resting. Try resting with you foot higher than your chest and putting some cold patches in the spot where you feel the pain. Get Well soon.

Your shoulder subluxed and you may have irritated some of the nerves.  The nerves would have had a traction force upon them which can cause some of your symptoms.  Rarely, one of the nerves can be pinched as the shoulder relocates.\n\nYou should get it x-rayed to make sure nothing serious happened and that the shoulder went back into the correct position and that you didn't cause trauma to any of the other joints or structures in the area.  In the meantime, keep icing it and taking antiinflammatory medication, i.e. Advil.  Try not to use it either - no riding the bike again just yet!

The common conception is that chest pain that radiates through your left arm could be a sign of myocardial infarction. In fact chest pain that radiates through the shoulder and neck could also be symptomatic of this. You do not give any information about your age, the duration and intensity of this pain, when it comes about, or any other health information about yourself; so you cannot expect anyone to offer an opinion about what may be causing it. I suggest you go and see your doctor. If it is severe, prolonged, you are simultaneously breathless etc.. go to an Accident & Emergency department instead (in extreme call an ambulance).

You might want to check out the symptoms of "costochondritis" -- inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs -- to see if that condition is similar to what you are experiencing.  (see links below)\n\nThe good news is that it's not serious, it usually goes away on its own, and it can be treated with various painkillers.  You might want to try a heating pad, or ice packs, or alternating the two.\n\nJust in case, however, I would recommend a visit to your doctor to confirm.  If it were something more serious, like your liver, gallbladder, or heart trouble, you wouldn't want to miss the early warning signs.

its an issue with the shoulder/neck area.  when there is an inpingment there the nerves are effected through the arm and hands.  the energy is affected that you will get pain or weakness in these areas.  you can also have a Double Crush Issue.  when the trauma to the neck will be felt in the wrist or forarm.

I would see your local doctor.  My guess is your on some type of medication.  He/She can put you one  a lite pain reliever while the side of your chest heals.  The reason it hurts is you have been coughing for some time and the muscles on your side have been used and therefore ache.  If your Doctor can prescribe some stuff, your muscles can relax and heal, therefore relieving an pain in the future.

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.

Do you have any other symptoms? It sounds like it is normal heartburn, but it definitely could be related to stress and anxiety. I've also heard that an injury, such as a broken rib, can cause chest burning. \n\nSometimes burning in the chest can be related to a heart attack, but if you're a heath 22-year-old and you're not experiencing throbing pain or shortness of breath, it's probably not serious.

Yeah it sounds like you have a rib out of place, ive had it happen to me a few times, make a appontment with a chiropractor, they will put it back in place and show you things you can do to stregthin that area so that way your rib wont pop back out, if you need a quick fix right now... the way i seen to get it back in at home, have you ever seen some people cross their arms and have someone lift them up to crack their back, well same idea but just sit on the persons lap, tell them to go up and back as much as possible arching your back as much as they can. This dosent always work but for the most part it does, the sure way to know if your rib is out of place from what i know is if it hurts to take a deep breath. sit in place and breath in as much as possible if you have a sharp pain in your sternum or in your back then yeah you know, try to get in today for the best results from your appointment the rib has to be out when you go, they have to know which one it is to give you the best excersises to do to keep that rib in place, if a rib is coming out like that the muscles around the rib need to be streghened to hold it where it needs to be...

I may be way off base with this, but I had a friend who had a similar problem.  They got the problem when they started lifting heavy weight.  One time (and there wasn't any pain during the incident), they lifted something and it tore the tissue in their tail bone.  Same symptoms, when they sneezed, sat, or sqautted down and picked things up, it hurt them.  It's something to look into, at least.

you possibly have a "pinched nerve" or small disc protrusion in your neck. mine healed with rest, heat and ibuprofen.\n\nif it does not get better in the next few days or gets worse, see a doctor asap. imho, do not go to a chiropractor or let someone "crack" your neck.\nI am not a dr. or nurse: but have had this same thing happen to me.

Do you slouch or do you sit up straight? This could be nothing more than muscle spasms or pain from trapped wind. If you were suffering heart trouble you would be feeling the pain in the centre of your chest, in your neck or your arms. I don't think it could be your liver or you would be feeling 'out of sorts' too. Call NHS direct and have a word with them to see what they think. They will not offer a diagnosis but will advise you to visit your Doctor if they think it neccessary.

It could be muscle strain from the heavy lifting, but I'd expect you to feel it more in your back than in your side. If it is interfering with your ability to get a good breathe though, you really should go have it checked out by the doctor.  Even as an asthmatic, you should not need to take deep breaths constantly to avoid feeling breathless.  Like as not it is just simply a pulled or strained muscle, but you might also benefit from something to ease your need to breathe so deeply so often.  It could well be related to that, and be pain from breathing with a restricted airway.  So you really should go see the doctor on this one, just to be on the safe side.  Asthma is not something to play around with or take chances with.  Difficulty breathing is the sign something needs attention.
