A member asked:

Please explain why does my heart hurt feels like a sharp chest pain but in my heart area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sharp?: The most serious (coronary artery disease) and the most trivial (precordial catch / texidor's twinge) processes can both cause chest pain. At your age, it's worth discussing with your personal physician especially if it's of recent onset.
