Go see your Doctor.  Sounds like your esophagus is really irritated.  Probably a severe case of GERD.

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.

If you feel that ill, then go to Emergency right away.  Call 911.  If your chest is hurting that badly then you probably need medical attention. You should not have to fear that you will die and so, then let the medical professional team assist you.\n\nIf you can get through the night, then call a doctor tomorrow and go see him or her on an emergency basis.\n\nWhatever the case, go back to drinking water, not tap water, but good bottled water or spring water.\n\nBeyond that - try to turn your thoughts around to the positive and believe in your body's innate ability to heal itself.  If you believe in God, then pray to God and ask for healing.  If you do not believe in God, then pray for healing anyway because it works, if you believe.\n\nBlessings to you, you are in my prayers and I wish you all the best.  Know that there are people out there who do care and I am one of them.  Good Luck.  I know you will pull through this.

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

Don't try to diagnosis yourself.  Lay people don't do a good job of it at all.  Sarcoidosis is a very rare disease, and is not something generally considered when someone complains of chest pains.  The lungs are usually not the cause of chest pains.  Lung disease is manifested by shortness of breath, cough, sputum production, fever, primarily.  You may well just be a "worry wart", someone with an anxiety disorder, who is constantly scared of having a heart attack or other life threatening disease, so you magnify the normal feelings in your chest to the point that you interpret it as chest pains.\n\nGet your mind off your health.  Get out and walk for miles.  Get a hobby.  Strike up new friendships.  Read the Bible and pray to God.  GET a LIFE!!!

I used to have some really bad ones! 2 or 3 times a day! I really thought I was having a heart attack, it is really frightening!!! I had to take anxiety medication and now I only have them once in a while! You look like you might be having a depression, too much stress and maybe not enough sleep! Don't stay like that, you are not alone, seek help from your doctor!!

I think you need to have this checked out by a doctor. It could be any number of things, even a node. It could be a lingering infection. Let a doctor look at it and then you'll know for sure and you can get whatever treatment you may need. You don't need to be in pain like this. My heart goes out to you and I will pray that you get well soon.

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

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.

chest pain means go to the doctor ASAP could be one of many causes, the important one is the heart which as you would agree is pretty important.  For the back, try exercise.

Might be GERD.  I would see a doctor, even if all you feel is irritated at that annoying issue ... could save you in the long run, if it is.

Stop the jogging and go to a doctor.  \n\nThere is not enough information to give an answer here.  \n1) Do you smoke?\n2) How long have you been jogging or is this new?\n3) Do you have any prior medical history with chest heart or lung?\n4) Does the pain go away quickly after you stop or take hours?\n5) Family history of heart or lung disease?\n6) Are you over weight?\n6) Are you diabetic?\n7) Are you taking medications?

If this is happening on a regular basis, definitly see a doctor!  However, this happens to me and has been since I can remember but found out when I was older that gas trapped can cause this sharp pain.  I always thought I was having a heart attack when I was a teen!!  It hurt to breath in too deep and it was a sharp pain that felt like it was in my heart area.  This only happens to me a couple of times a year.  In otherwords, it's not a regular occurance for me...
