Is it normal that i feel physical chest pain for no reason sometimes?

I'm a healthy, young, male, adult. I don't have any diseases or congenital problems. I don't exercise that often (a few times a week) but I'm not overweight. I eat really healthy.

Sometimes, for no reason, my chest will hurt if I breathe in. What it feels like is an acute, sharp pain on the left side of my chest when I intake air. It doesn't hurt if I breathe only a bit (so I have to breathe rapid short breaths for a while to avoid pain) or if I focus on intaking the air lower (my stomach popping out instead of my chest). If I breathe in a certain amount, boom, it hurts.

It goes away after maybe ten minutes. No problems after, but I get worried.

    Please have a checkup: it's probably nothing serious, but why risk it?

    It can occur sometimes for no reason. But it can also mean a block in your lungs.

    Dude. I found out yesterday that the pain I've had in my abdomen, for years, was actually an issue that I will have to have surgery for. My mine is blown, as I condsider my self to be fairly healthy. Talk to your family about hereditary shit and make an appointment with a doctor. Best of luck.

  • It happens maybe once or twice a month.
