This is by no means an emergency...I've had this chest pain since elementary school. I just have never had an explaination for the pain. Most doctors just shrug when I ask, so I stopped asking.

Randomly I get a stabbing pain in my chest. When I get the pain it increases with any small amounts of breathing, so I tend to hold my breath when I get it (10-20 secs of pain tops). I also used to be able to induce the pain by taking deep breaths, I have since stopped being stupid. This makes me believe it is breathing related, maybe a diapghram (sp?) cramp.

I also believe it is stress related, since I tend to get it when very stressed out. It was continous problem during school, and I have either stopped being stressed or have partially outgrown the problem. It happens once a month now, instead of daily.

Thanks!
