Could be axiety attacks-that's about the age my daughter got them-stress related-but could be serious I was 26 when I had my first heart attack after egnoring some of the same symtoms.\nTell her to have a doctor check her out and if it's stress he can give her something to help her and you will feel better know that she is not seriously ill.

try eating a banana a little while before running. Also taking some TUMS. My husband uses both to deter cramping and he's always fine. Make sure you are drinking enough water throughout the day.\nAlso make sure you are breathing correctly while running. It sounds like you are catching wind. If you can't maintain proper breathing try slowing down a little. breathe in through your nose and exhale through your mouth

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.

Hypochondria with a terminal case of can't spellitus\n\nI just read your other question concerning your heart problem. Hyperventilation, palpitations, numbness in the are & I would bet your hands go numb & cold. They also probably curl up & cramp. You are most likly having a severe anxiety attack. The hyperventilation causes the numbness & anxiety atacks often mimick heart atacks.\n\nLet me know if I guess right about the symptoms you did not list...just curious.\n\nOK...read some more of your posts & decided that I was right to start with. You are an ID**T.

You need to drink more fluids; try some cranberry juice too.  Lay off of the soda and caffiene.

Ideally - get medical attention a.s.a.p, even if you have call the emergency doctors now for advise - dont take the risk with chest pains.

Most likely is gas, problems with the heart are pressure in the chest not pain, I would take him to a doctor as soon as possible just to make sure he's fine..☺

what does she tell you?  Did you get your Thyriod tested?  Are you depressed?  have you tried taking a decongestant before you go to sleep at night to help you sleep?  exercise always helps me...  maybe you should go to the doctor and get a second opinion.

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.

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

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.

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.

Lots of people with many responsibilites feel the way you do. It's normal to feel stressed out when you have so much going on, and untreated stress can escalate into panic attacks (sounds like that may be happened to you, since shortness of breath is one of the symptoms).\n\nNow is the time to take steps so your stress won't progress any further. If possible, talk to a therapist who can help you. At the very least, you need to list and sort the priorities in your life and make a sensible plan for carrying them out. You also need to schedule time for yourself; make an appointment for "you time," and KEEP IT!\n\nThere is no easy way out of your situation, but if you can prioritize your life and break down your tasks into managable chunks and work in some time for yourself, it should help tremendously.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com

I think you are experiencing cramps.  They are nasty little muscle spasms.  You should talk to your Dr. about them.  Most of the time they are nothing to worry about; however, I have heard that they could indicate a blockage (i.e. clot) in the oxygen flow that your muscles are supposed to be receiving.

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