A member asked:

I felt sharp pain in my chest when i leaned forward to move from a lying position to a sitting position. what's the cause? not the first time i had it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good question: where? severity? anything else? how often? Association? Health history? these are some of the questions a practitioner would ask to help you work out whats causing the pain. Most common cause is muscular or connective tissue. Most dangerous would be lung or heart problem. Time to see a practitioner in person.
