Go to a doctor, you fool!
Thats actually a normal thing to have in your teen years (if you are infact a teen, or even early twenties) I used to have it, and I used to know what it was called but I forget now. I'm 20 now and haven't had it in a couple years, but I definitely know what you are talking about.
My friend gets chest pains.. and she stands still for few seconds, she can't talk, move or just do anything. She really scares the hell out of me. And she says it's normal. She's seeing a doctor and she's a little obese. I think she doesn't tell me the truth about it. But, anyway I'm telling you .. you need to see a doctor.
I get that too! I didnt realise it happened to any other people. I've never seen a doctor about it because it doesnt effect me apart from the 3 seconds that they last. (this is really weird), but it happened the day michael jackson died and literally about 20 mins after, I got a text message from my friend telling me he'd died and I had the craziest thought that I'd had this weird chest pain at the EXACT SAME TIME that michael jackson had the heart attack that killed him. I guess I'll never know!
Believe it or not, this is actually pretty normal. I get them too. Sudden, excruciating, piercing, but brief chest pains.
HEART ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!
GO SEE A DOCTOR. MY DAD IGNORED IT AND HE USED A CAR INSTEAD OF AMBULANCE TO GET THERE. DON'T BE LIKE HIM.
GO SEE A DOCTOR
CALL AN AMBULANCE.
I have a good friend who would get those all the time. She went to the doctor and found out its caused by sever anxiety and stress. This isn't very good. She's now on medication. You might want to take a trip to the doctor's office asap.
My friend and I both get these. If you're a teenager, as somebody else said, it's normal. Someone told me it had to do with growing pains but I'm not sure if that's correct, so er...don't take me up on it.
I get that feeling a lot, a excruciating pain in the middle of my chest between my boobs, especially at night and in the morning. At first i thought it was because of my posture when I sleep, but then i realized it sometimes affects me during the day. I personally think that it might be caused by bad posture, but imo i think it happens beacuse I tend to smoke a lot.
