What Causes Sharp Pain In Chest, Middle Of Stomach Between Ribs?
I am just wondering, I started having really sharp sharp pain in the middle of my stomach in between my ribs, it goes thru to my back and up into the left side of my chest. It almost takes my breath away. It hasn t let up at all since it started 10 hours ago.

Most probably a pain in the middle of the ribs is due to hyperacidity or gastritis. However it can also be an ominous sign of a silent Myocardial infarction or a heart attack. If it has not settled then i advise you to please see a doctor and get an ECG done
