Answers:
I would strongly recommend ignoring any medical recommendations from anyone who is not accredited in the field of Medicine.

Chest Pain can mean many things. It can be as simple as a pulled muscle, or as serious as a heart attack.

I would recommend that any time you feel chest pain, have difficulty breathing, feel like you have pressure in your chest, or all of the above, you should call for help.

If you're not aware of the signs and symptoms for a heart attack, or if you aren't sure, its better to have it ruled out by a doctor, or even a Paramedic. They can tell you if you seem to be having a Cardiac problem.

I'm an instructor of other Paramedics, and even I can't diagnose you over the internet. So take all of this with a grain of salt.

But never, EVER, hesitate to call 9-1-1 for any reason. It's there so you don't have to make these calls on your own.

Good Luck, and Good Health!
aw. i get the same thing. even when im just laying down. when i breathe in and out it feels like someone is ripping a bandaid off of my heart real fast :[
dont worry it goes away.
Nobody can know what this is without examining you, and it's best not to take chances. You need to go to the ER, but do NOT drive yourself. If there's nobody there who can take you, dial 911. Good luck.
I get cramps after I drink water or eat THEN play basketball..If you are scared then maybe going to a hospital would be good..Better to be safe..
as long as your healthy, you should be fine. BUT you must go to the hospital, even if your think your the peek of physical fitness. If you're experiencing the symptoms of a heart problem it is essential you get it sorted out early.

And even if it isn't anything serious, it will be good to find out why you are experiencing discomfort. As said before, better to be safe then sorry.
I think it probably gas!
do you eat alot of food that have alot of oil in it? if u do then take it down a notch stop eating oiley food if u want no more pain.if u dont then its just heart burn.I prescribe TUMS Heartburn relief

Dr. Johnny ,MD Lol Phd P:
Could be heart burn.
I'm sorry, buddy, I don't really know what's wrong with you. I experienced that and i know it's no-fun. It would go away after a few minutes or so. I never tell my parents these, and so i really don't know what's wrong with me either.
I bet you would better pay the doctor a visit. It maybe just a simple cramp or may be something worse. DON"T take me as an example. ( I'm terrified of doctors, phobia) He may schedule you for some tests or give you some pain-killers instead. Did you experience heart conditions when you are small? Or some other diseases? You better check. For me, i do have heart conditions when i am really small, so .
No matter what, just go for the doctor, check out what it is. Better safe than sorry.
