What causes stabbing chest pains?

Answer by  Danie86 (294)

If it's not a heart attack it would be that you are over exerting yourself. Maybe you had a workout that was a little too much. It may not be a heart attack but causes liek obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure can lead up to that in the future.

Sometimes when you're under a lot of stress or worried you can cause anxiety pains. This anxiety attack is really painful and should be treated otherwise you will experience them often. Another could be Gallstones. I have had both and both feel terrible. It's best to get checked out to fix the problem.

If you feel extreme pain when poked between your top rib and your collar bone, and you had no apparent cause of the pain, it could be you are experiencing Tietze Syndrome.

The most common cause is acid reflux. Cut down on the amount you eat and do not eat late at night. This will ease the symptoms of chest pains.
