Chest Pains
Sometimes my chest gets extremely tight and feels like a sharp pain, like I'm being stabbed, this is in my lateral chest, and can make it difficult for me to breathe. It gets worse when I lie down, and doesn't seem to have a cause that I can see. It usually leaves within 10 to 30 minutes.. When the pain does come it is very sudden and painful.

Hello User.. Chest pain that increases by movements of body and deep breathing is not from heart and is usually due to musculoskeletal system of chest so is not a serious problem NSAIDS for few days should settle the issue. Regards
