Off The Record
Finally: The Cause Of Your Random Chest Stabbing Pains Has Been Revealed
If you’re a certain age, you’ve probably had chest pains that you really didn’t know what caused them at some point in your life.
If you’re even slightly worried about your health, the first thing that comes to mind when something hurts in your chest is probably that something is wrong with your heart. But most of the time, it’s something much less serious.
A lot of information is available about heart attacks and other heart diseases. However, Google is not always your friend when it comes to checking signs, because it can make you think the worst.
If you’re eating well and working out to protect your heart, and you’re still feeling young, then it’s not likely that you’ll have a heart attack.
So, it doesn’t seem like there’s much to worry about if you only have stabbing chest pain and no shooting pains down your left arm or shortness of breath. The pain should go away on its own in a few minutes. As it turns out, thinking about it might be the worst thing you can do since it can cause these pains.
A condition called precordial catch syndrome (PCS), which was first reported in 1893, has been found to be the cause of the pain.
People with this mild condition, which is also called Texidor’s twinge, feel sharp pains in their chest for a few minutes at a time. It may come as a surprise, but this condition seems to affect kids and teens (especially those between the ages of 6 and 12) a lot more than it does adults.
Usually, there are no other symptoms, and it usually happens when you are resting. This is another sign that it has nothing to do with your heart, since heart problems are more likely to happen when you are stressed or working out.
Doctors are still trying to figure out why the pain is happening, but the underlying cause is still not clear. Some ideas say that the pain could be from the chest wall or an irritation of an intercostal nerve.
Having this happen all the time can be stressful, but the outlook is good, and the best way to deal with it is to take a few deep breaths and be told that everything is okay.
But if you’re afraid and the symptoms don’t go away, don’t wait to call your doctor.
