What Causes Sharp Pain In Chest?
Hello,
I woke up in the middle of the night with this sharp pain in my chest. It is not constant but it comes every 3 or 4 minutes. I tried aleve, tylenol, and even alka selzer and nothing is working. It might be a bubble in my chest but even burping hasn't healed it

thanks for asking your question
i completely understand your question
chest discomfort , sharp chest pain can be due to cardiac or lung ailments
in my patients i would like to rule out these diseases by a chest xray and an ecg and 2 d echo if needed
if all these diseases are ruled out i may start my patients on proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole because these symptoms can also be due to gastritis
thanks
feel free to ask more questions
may god bless you with good health
