Sounds muscular to me. Do you have a cough or anything? It doesnt seem remotely heart related dont worry about that X

No no cough at all dizzy though but I guess that could be down to my anxiety. Could it be heart burn? X

I get that sometimes. Buts a random sharp pain that takes my breathe away. I have had an ECG which came back normal. So it's just unexplained really.

Hello, I've had this a couple times and went to my doctor on both occasions. He diagnosed it as costochondritis. It is when you have bruised your sternum. I had it a few days after a huge panic attack and the second time it came out of nowhere. Press down on your Brest bone and you may be able to feel where it is bruised. It caused me all sort of pains in my chest, shooting pains, sharp pains it even went to my shoulders and back. It hurt when i took deep breathes, moved a certain way or sometimes for no reason. My doctor told me it can come out of nowhere and to take Aleve to get rid of the pain. Try pressing around your chest (mine was mostly in between my breasts) to see if you can pinpoint where the pain is coming from.
