Hello doctor.. I an 23 years old and for the past 20 days I've been having light shooting pains in my chest..It stays for as long as 30 sec and then vanishes away. But it keeps recurring..Sometimes it happens in my upper back also just below the shoulder area..I do not have any medical history..Could you tell me what could be the possible reason..
