What are these sharp pains in my heart?

If the pain is after doing some exercise/walking, then it may be Angina (consult the Doctor immediatly), if it is random, it may be due to some stomach problem,  or even some muscular pain. I have recently have Bypass surgery, and studied a lot of literature, if you need any assistance in case of heart problem, then contact me at hafeez_butt@yahoo.com

Well, Im a girl and Im having the same sort of problem.  Sometimes Im culd just be talkign adn when I breath through my mouth I could have sharp pains in my chest.  It feels like a pin or somthing and then it hurts to brethe for a few seconds, but then it's gone.  I dont get it often, but sometimes it happens.  My sister says its no big deal and that it is probably just cramps.(She is NIQU nurse or however you spell it, but she worked with other things too)

Yes. These are classic symptoms of a heart attack.

The question is - why do you think it's a pain in your heart?  It could be a pain coming from your lungs, or any of the other structures in the chest.  In case you're not aware, most pain from heart disease comes from the center of your chest. To get an accurate diagnosis from your symptoms, you'll need to tell the doctor more about the pain: e.g., when does the pain usually come on (when you're walking/running, when you're lying flat, in the middle of the night when you're sleeping, etc.), where in the chest it is, describe the type of pain (sharp, dull ache, pressure-sensation, etc.), does the pain appear to go to any other part of the body (like does it go down your left arm?), do you get short of breath when the pain comes on, and so on and so forth. The more you tell the doctor about the characteristics of the pain, the more likely the doctor will be able to diagnose the pain.

Blood pressure will elevate with ANY type of pain.  Chest pain should always be evaluated by a Doctor, there are many causes.

You better watch that!!! If the pain is not acompanied with a pain the arm and neck, you are lucky. A heart attack is on the way if the symptom is as describeb. Go to a MD.

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...

See your doctor.  Chest pain is not something to fool around with, period.  It might just be anxiety, but it could be something a whole lot worse.  Go to your doctor and put your mind at ease.

heart pounds like when it beats really quickly? i would say go see the doctor. asap. and stay away from any activities that make your heart pound until your doctor can check you out.\n\ni can't say what it is...heart problems can happen to people as young as babies (heart defect), so you don't want to sit on this and wait.\n\n*edit*\ni don't agree with the person above. the heart should never *hurt*. beat fast, sure, but pain is a sign of trouble...that's what pain is for. see the doctor.

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.

Go to a doctor.  Could be your heart, could be anemia, could be a number of reasons.  Get checked NOW.

I would suggest going to your doctor to make sure that everything is okay.  You could have a more serious form of acid reflux or angina (chest pain) due to something else.  Not trying to scare you, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Could be many things. How low are we speaking? It could be kidneys, gall bladder, pulled muscles, or back pain. Did you do anything to cause the pain, perhaps an injury? If it comes on suddenly and is sharp, I'd go see a doc about it.  Good luck.

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.

When you say pains in your chest do you mean a tightness like in the middle of your chest??\nSome people even though they eat a diet with potassium in it still need a suppliment that is prescribed for them.\nIf you are 18yrs you can go to a doctor on your own without your parents consent. Call the family doctor that you usually go to or ask friends for referrals. If you are still living at home under the age of 18 you need to speak to your parents. This ongoing chest pain needs to be evaluated and blowing you off by saying eat your bananas is not good enough. You could still have a low potassium level.\nPotassium if it becomes to low is a critical condition and can lead to all types of heart problems that can even be lethal and sudden.\n\nPerhaps your episodes have frightened your parents and it is a subject they are afraid to discuss.\n\nIf you still can;t get thru to them I suggest the next time you have chest pain you call 911 have the paramedics show up at your house and let them take you to the emergency room for an evaluation.\n\n\nP.S. Try to stay away from the cigarette smoke as much as possible. IT IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF ASTHMA in children and the BIGGEST trigger for an asthma attach\n\n\nall the best to you and keep us posted

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.
