Why would sometimes it feel like a needle is poking my chest (heart area)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atypical: The pain you describe is atypical and usually not the heart. But depending on your history and your risk factors a work up may be indicated. A thorough h&p along with ecg, labs and and possibly a stress test would be helpful ruling out the heart and asses other potential causes.
