shooting sporadic pains in chest

[JulieJay92]

for the last 4 days now i have had constant stabbing pains just to the left of my chest. they last a few seconds to minutes then disappear but come back every few hours

have used kalms etc and BP is not high and pulse is 80 so not sure what it is. Its very painful but not to the extent where i would pass out in pain

does anyone else experience this or know what it could be

If you would like to call NHS Direct (0845 4647) and they can reassure you. I have pains in my chest and the GP said its down to muscle tension, even when I dont realise it I am apparently tensed up.

I agree with piers. I have shooting pains in my chest. Like muscle spasms. Sometimes around the ribs are sore after the event. It used to freak me out too. I would try to hold the area where they happen. I found that if I rubbed the area when the spasms happened they would go away. This is a good indicator that it is muscular.
