What Could Sudden Chest Pain Suggest?

My brother and sister at night describe to be feeling a pushing on their chest immediately after awaking in the middle of the night. They are 21 and 22 but have been feeling it throughout their whole lives. They suspect it is either something paranormal or health-related. Any answers?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
At their age of 22 and 23 years, stress and anxiety related chest pain is more likely.
But better to first rule out heart diseases for their symptoms.
So get done ecg and 2d echo of both.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases in their case.
Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in their lives and start working on it's solution.
They might need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, they will be alright. Ask them too avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your brother and sister. Thanks.
