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! Posted: 03-20-08 08:44am
He takes antacids all the time for his
heartburn. Does heartburn go away in 2-3
minutes?

Natural solution to Heartburn Posted: 04-27-08 21:52pm
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.
