I am having a burning feeling in my chest, what is it?

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.

It could be one of many things, first off it could be GERD, something that is like heatburn but is more in the stomach and you don't have to eat spicy foods for it to act up, caffeine, chocolate and other foods can cause discomfort in your stomach and throat. It could also be that your gallbladder is inflamed and causing the pain.  These are just a few things can be going on but without an examination and history no one here can really diagnose what is wrong.  It could also be anxiety caused from being stressed out and when you stress sometimes you can hyperventilate and that can cause unexplained heart/chest pains.  You really should be checked out just to have peace of mind.\n\nTake care, let us know how you feel.

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.

Could be your gallbladder. I felt like I was having a heart attack.\n\nHope you find out soon.

It could be gas or air, or pleurisy - fluid around your heart.  It could also be more serious.  If it persists you should get it checked out.

sounds like your secondary muscles of inspiration are shortened or contractured.  Do you smoke or are you susceptible to bronchitis?  If so, then this could be the cause.  I would also go to a Massage Therapist and get some of the hypertonicity worked on and have them give you some good home care in the form of remex and hydrotherapy.  When you breath, try not to breath apically, but bring the air in through your nose and when it goes into your lungs, concentrate on bringing the air as far down as your tummy (pretend that your tummy is like a big balloon, and fill it up)  Then continue to inhale so the upper portions of your lungs fill.  When you exhale, do so through your mouth, slowly.  Make an effort to breath this way, an the tightness in you chest should decrease a bit.  Get your Pec major and Pec minor stretched out and hold your shoulders back.  Don't slouch.\n\nGuaranteed, if you do this, you will feel like a new person.

definitely sounds like a panic attack.  \n\nWhat is happening is that you become "scared" of the feeling of panic there fore you are sent into a "panic attack".  Also you are internalizing a lot of stress and you're body needs an outlet so it sends a large release through an attack.  After your "attack" is over do you feel sleepy?  Well that the feeling you get after an attack along with sweating.  You need to release more emotion, and stress, try crying, try exercise, try talking to people about your problems, try getting better sleep as well.  The way I overcame them is to control them and stop letting them control me.  If I felt a panic attack coming on I take deep breaths close my eyes and think for a minute.

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.

What are you feeling?  \n\nDo you sense loved ones?\n\nIf someone in your family, or otherwise close to you has recently crossed over, they might be with you.  They might be trying to contact you.  \n\nGet in touch with what you are feeling: fear, anxiety, exhiliration...if you feel out of control, seek help.

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.

It is most likely an anxiety or panic attack.  They feel very similar but have a few difference.  You deal with them both in the same way though...A few recommendations:\n\n1. Take a hot bath and/or listen to some very familar music.  Loud music might do it for you or soft music...the most important thing is that it is really familiar.\n\n2.  Try natural herbs to calm yourself down.  One I highly recommend is Valerion Root, you can buy it in pill form at Walmart for like 3 bucks.  It stinks pretty bad when you open the bottle but it doesn't have any taste when you swallow them.  They have a great calming effect.\n\n3. Remember to breath.  And I don't just mean breath deeply, but breathing at all.  When you have a bad enough anxiety attack, you can literally forget to breath.  It causes the chest pains and such to feel even worse.  Sitting and just focusing on breathing for a couple minutes can help calm your body down.\n\n4. Talk to someone friendly.  Someone detached from the situation.  Make sure it isn't someone who will judge you or you will feel is judging you.  Even if you don't talk about the situation juts having a friendly face around can actually calm you down alot and get your mind off of it.\n\nI know the feelings you get with these things is horrible and can make you feel like you are dying.  Many people go to doctors for them but a few, like me, have found that we can learn to cope on our own.  The main thing to remember is to not make any rash decisions when you feel like that...no matter how bad it feels, it will pass. Good luck! :)

Sounds like a neck problem or a TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome).  In other words, the nerves and blood vessels to your hands come out of your neck, run through your arm pit and down your arms.  Either bad posture or some type of physiological problem is pinching the nerves and/or blood vessels causing a numbing/burning sensation.  It probably feels close to like if your hand falls asleep.  I would recommend getting an examination from a Chiropractor.  Find one that not only adjusts but works with physical therapy to address muscular problems as well.  You should see someone as soon as possible about this becuase it will likely get worse and could lead to or further existing arthritis or disc problems in your neck.  Of course, it could always be something more serious so check with a healthcare professional (I definately recommend Chiropractic, and yes, I am biased but I know I am right too...)

One thing could be a sign of a heart attack or you may have ashtma, bronchitis's or some form of a chest cold. If you have chest pains please make sure you get tested RIGHT  AWAY.

It is like a candle burning in your heart when I am with you it burns bightly and warm. When I am away from you the flame burns low and it hurts because the warmth is gone.
