Brief Answer:
muscle cramps.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to HealthcareMagic!
I read carefully your query and understand your concerns.
This chest pain that you had in the right side and after in the left side that lasted 2 seconds ,seems to be muscle cramps .They can cause a pinch sensation that last only few seconds.
Usually a chest pain caused from serious heart conditions is felt more in the left side of chest or in the upper abdomen that can last from several minutes to 30 min or more.In this case the pain is accompanied by other symptoms like cold sweats ,nausea ,difficulty breathing ,pale skin etc.
A pain in chest that last only 1-2 seconds most likely is related to a muscle cramp.You don't need to worry about that.It doesn't seem to be of concern.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question or doubt to clarify.I will be happy to assist you further.
Kind Regards,
