Chest discomfort: Chest discomfort must be taken seriously, because while there are many causes of chest pains which are not dangerous, there are other causes which are life threatening, even in young people. Chest pains which concern you should be evaluated urgently by a physician.

Most often a sudden,: sharp chest wall pain, especially in a young person, is musculoskeletal, the result of a strain or minor injury to the muscles or ligaments supporting the sternum and ribs. I would be more concerned if the pain occurred with activity or you felt a lump or mass in your breast. Apply some heat. Consider taking prescribed doses of ibuprofen or naproxen for a few days. If persists, see your doctor:)
