Suggest Remedy For Pain And Pressure In Chest
I did go to a doctor this morning with serious chest pains...there was lots of pressure...and every few min I experienced very, very sharp pains (stabbing pains) 8 on a 1-10 scale of pain. I'm only 28...I have been involved in a work-out class the last 10 weeks....they did an ekg, said normal - and they took blood and labwork came back fine (it doesn't appera that I have any blood clots), no family history of heart problems in my family - what could be wrong with me?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are different diseases that can cause these pain, and they are very serious diseases.
A doctor should rule out these diseases before saying that it might be just a muscular random problem. You are a young patient and your doctor has ruled out an acute myocardial infarction and blood clots in your lungs.
I suggest you to do a chest x-ray to rule out a possible pneumothorax, and possibly an angio CT scan of the aorta to exclude aortic dissection. Take care of yourself until doctors say you are OK.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
