    Sharp chest pain/squeezing

    Hi all. This morning when I laid down to sleep I was awoken by a sharp squeezing pain in my chest that came on suddenly. I didn't have any other symptoms but it was frightening. I've had it before a few times. It feels like a sharp squeezing pain in your chest/heart. Like it takes your breath away for a second. I read it could be related to acid reflux,indigestion, or gas. I'm a 46 yo male in decent shape. Was wondering if anyone has had something like this happen as well. Thank you for any replies.

    I'm a 37 year old in average shape, and I get this too. I don't have an answer for you but I'm 80% sure its digestion related like gas or acid reflux, 10% muscle cramps and obviously because my brain is stupid, 10% heart problem that I get anxious over!

    Just wanted to post to say I get the same thing and have done for the last 6 weeks

    Thanks for the reply. You're probably right. Just a bit scary.
