A member asked:
Would a chest pain that lasts for a few minutes without recurring be a sign of a heart attack or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest pain transient: A pain such as you describe in a 16 y/o is likely to be intestinal gas or musculoskeletal in origin. In a much older patient a cardiac related cause might come into consideration.
