What Could Sudden Chest Pain Suggest?

Sir, Exact middle of my chest (not even slight left/right) started paining since last 6 hours. I am a non-smoker and pure vegetarian. This is the first time I'm experiencing this. I\m 42 years old male. Could you please tell me what could be the reason? should I undergo any medication?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sudden onset central chest pain is seen mostly with musculoskeletal pain.
But better to rule out heart diseases first.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Avoid movements causing pain.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
