A member asked:

What causes a 5 second pain to center of chest above breastline below collarbone? felt as if someone punched me.pcp says not heart. cardiac?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: The heart doesn't cause "5 seconds of pain". If you're premenopausal, non-diabetic, and a non-smoker, your risk of heart attack is very close to zero. Your PCP was able to examine you and talk with you at more length - he/she's certainly to be believed!
