If you are young and occasionally get sharp stabbing pains in your chest while breathing in that go away and have no other symptoms you should tell your doctor of course but also learn about Precordial Catch Syndrome
Precordial catch syndrome (PCS) is a non-serious condition in which there are sharp stabbing pains in the chest. These typically get worse with inhaling and occur within a small area. Spells of pain usually last less than a few minutes. Typically it begins at rest and other symptoms are absent.
Learning about this greatly reduced random anxiety for me. And it stops when you get old yay!

Ahh, so that's what that is. I just thought my heart was telling me to do more cardio :P
-
Happens to me all the time, usually goes away after lying down even for just a moment or pounding on my chest. One time it didn't go away though and lasted like 48 hours 😩

I had a panic attack the other day because of this. I understood it was a panic attack pretty fast and got control of it within a couple minutes.
-
Yeah i had one too a few weeks ago. Scared the shit out of me as i couldn't breathe for a few seconds. I thought i was suddenly severely sick. Turns out it was just a panic attack i somehow got a few minutes after the german elections results came out. what a coincidence.

I had them often when I was smoking. Quit and haven't had many in the 12 years since.

This meme hits entirely differently for transfems.

That's significantly better than what I was thinking. I thought it was about heart attacks.

Fuck, man, you know when a meme just hits you in a way you aren’t expecting? This one just footballed my funny groin.
-
Like sudden, pounding heart palpitations!
-
-
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

It might be nothing but see a doctor. I'm young and healthy but turns out my heart genetics suck and I had dangerously high blood pressure.
A take two little pills a day and watch my sodium and no more heart pains are no longer an issue :)
-
Oh shit, those. It's pretty rare that I get those, it's maybe happened 5 or 6 times ever, but I happened to get one about a month ago after I went running for the first time in awhile. I guess those deep breaths triggered it.

Can't hear ya, Peach!
