A member asked:

Hi i feel like something is stick in my chest i don't get this all the time but sometimes what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Musculoskeletal: Likely a pain originating in the muscles, cartilage, or bones in the chest area. "Growing pains" are a real entity! Make sure you are not engaged in some repetitive movement or activity that may predispose to straining the chest. I doubt it's a significant health problem
