Sharp chest pains with deep breathing?
Your description sounds like Pleurisy which is an inflammation of the lining of the lungs that causes pain when you take a breath or cough. Time for a visit to your doctor. When you have pleurisy, the normally smooth lining of the lung become rough. They rub together with each breath, and may produce a rough, grating sound called a "friction rub." The doctor can hear this sound with the stethoscope, or by placing an ear against the chest. Deep breathing, coughing, and chest movement makes the pain worse. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics. Viral infections normally run their course without medications. Patients often can control the pain of pleurisy with acetaminophen or anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen.
Quick sharp needle like pain in upper left side of chest?
First off, I am a 20 yr. old female. I am fairly active, eat pretty healthy and no bad habits(drinking,smoking,drugs). I do have anxiety but they never happen around the time of each other. It usually happens in the mornings. Its been this sharp pain in my chest a couple times a day here lately its becoming more frequent as it used to only do it about once a week so I didn't think it was anything to worry about. I found a couple other questions on here that had the same symptoms but no real good answers. I think it feels like a splinter for a second and when I take a deep breath it hurts like hell but goes away. But, I found this description of the pain from another question asker on here and found it to be dead on so here it is.... From Kevincaz85: It basically feels like someone is pinching a vein in my veins near my Heart or someone is sticking a needle near it (I know it's not something from outside the body though) and it is such a sharp pain that I can't breathe for a second and I can't move or talk. It only does it for like 2-5 seconds and that's it and then waits for a few days or whatever. It also somehow effects my breathing and when I breath deeply when its happening it gets more painful but makes it go away quicker if that helps explain it any better.

Pain in left side of my chest, feels like a muscle cramp?
Hi I'm a 19 year old male. I remember when I was younger (in my early teens) I used to have this chest pain. I went to the doctor and got an EKG but they said everything is fine. It went away for several years. A few days ago this thing that feels like a cramp has come back in the left side of my chest. It feels like its directly in my lungs. It really hurts sometimes to breathe in because it expands my chest. This forces me to take in tiny breaths.Sometimes the pain feels like I'm going to have a heart attack and I'll run over to someone just in case there's an emergency.... Can anyone help me? I'm only writing this because I'm having bad symptoms right now.
Right-sided chest pain?
Whoa! Don't panic and certainly don't listen to the woe mongers suggesting cancer! A shameful thing for a so called nurse to write on this site! A pain one your right side could be one of several things, it could be simple indigestion, a muscle sprain, a pinched nerve or twisted rib, all of these are simple matters. Moving on to items that would require medical attention start with pancreatic, gallstones, pneumonia or pleurisy, all of which can be treated successfully with medication. As for only getting pains in the left side of your chest, I'm afraid you are worrying too much. Your heart for instance is actually more central in the chest than many realise, so it's unlikely to be that. Plus the suddenness of the pain, the sharpness and the fact that it comes and goes indicates it's not your heart. Your lungs have no nerve endings so you cannot actually feel pain from the lungs. So in conclusion, if you do not have any lung related diseases such as asthma or bronchitis and you are in general good health, you may be worrying too much. To put your mind at rest, go and see your doctor and explain your concerns. Good luck
