I am 32 years old and have suffered chest pains for quite some time. I too am a smoker, and could stand to lose 50 pounds. My blood pressure is perfect, and although I sometimes feel like I’m not getting enough air, my oxygen levels are always good. I have had many EKG’s done and they do not show anything. Chest x-rays & blood work are good too. I have noticed when I am stressed it kicks up, and when I sit and think about it, it feels worse. Overall I would tell everyone to check with your doctors- better safe than sorry. There are simple tests to check your ticker Also if you are at risk for heart & health issues- I would try to alter lifestyle a bit- I’m currently smoking more than ever so I think cutting down would be a great start for me. I also found tracking when I get the pain seems to help me figure out why I have it. I would start a journal to document every time you have the pain, and try to figure out if you ate something your body doesn’t agree with, or stress. I must have something wrong with me somewhere even though my tests are normal. Because frequent chest pain just shouldn’t be normal. At times my arm feels a little like a rubber band is around it too- not sure if that’s in my head or if it really feels that way. I hope this helps. I have found everyone else’s comments helpful.

I am 24 years old and recently gained some wieght. I get random sharp pains under my left breast right where my heart it. I’m a stay home mother of 2 boys under three and I’m stressed but not to the point of it causing my pain. Does anyone know why random chest pains would happen like that? And is it possibly wieght related?

Hello everybody…. I do have chest pain sometimes, that’s how I found this site and now reading all your posts. First of all, to all the girls and women – if you have chest pain occasionally, please go to doctor for check up! Nobody can advice you over email what do to. To eliminate all the worries, ask your doctor to check your heart and if it is OK, then you can blame your pains on stress and etc. Take app. to the doctor – when you will know that it is not your heart, you will eliminate extra stress by knowing and at least you will know where to start treatment. Life is full of stress and anxiety, just have to learn how to deal with it. Good luck to all!
