Causes of sharp chest pains
Posted: 03-19-08 15:31pm

I have a male friend who is having severe sharp pains that last one to three minutes. They come on very quickly and then go away very quickly. They start when he is relaxing and even when he is sleeping. They come in his chest or under his rib cage or his shoulder or his side. The first time this happened he went to ER for an ALL day exam, test, etc. and they sent him home with the diagnosis of: %u201CThere is nothing wrong with you.%u201D He is still having these pains and they are now occurring every two to three days. The pain is so severe that he feels like vomiting, but hasn%u2019t yet, and he breaks out in a sweat. I have searched the internet and can find nothing or am not searching with the right words. Does anyone know what it is or what%u2019s causing this? Please help! We are desperate. Thank you.

it could just be heart burn--take some antiacids and see what happens.

Severe sharp 2-3 minute chest pains - not a heart attack!

He takes antacids all the time for his heartburn. Does heartburn go away in 2-3 minutes?

Natural solution to Heartburn

I know Heartburn can cause sometimes some very scary similiar heart attach like sharp pains. If you would like to try something really safe and natural, try pur theraputic grade Peppermint Oil.....Ingested, only a drop or two can make a huge difference.



Much safer than prescription and tums.....
