For the last 3 days I have been experiencing chest pain and upper back pain. At times it also has been radiating under my arms. Part of the time it is very dull, and others it is stabbing. And then there are times where I have not pain at all.
I’m 22. I have had a cold recently. A little cough, but that has gotten better over the last few days.
Any suggestions or answers would be greatly appreciated.

Its gas.
If you look it up you are probably not getting enough fiber. “American takes in 15 grams of fiber. Several organizations recommend 25 - 30 grams a day. The American Dietetic association recommends 25 - 35 grams a day. I”
you will be OK in a week after you poop it all out.

Good question. Best answer is always get advice from a doctor, of course with what is going on these day with doctors it is hard to get the right diagnosis. You can always go to for some great medical advice and wonderful answers as well. If you had a cold recently, it does sound like some of the symptoms as well, but once again best to seek professional in these cases. Good luck

I am not a doctor, but my husband was having pain in his chest, and back. He thought he was having a heart attack. He had recently had a cold also. We went to the e.r., and after a chest x-ray, they told us he had pleurisy. It is mucus, or fluid around your lung causing pain. The doctor explained it to us like this. He said it was like pneumonia, only instead of being inside the lung, it’s outside the lung. I suggest you get to a doctor, and find out what is wrong. Normally it isn’t your heart if the pain comes and goes, but you never know.
