It's time for a Dr.: Chest pains that are brief can be due to minor problems or to serious ones. One's primary care doctor can evaluate, or one can use the ER if needed. Possible causes include angina heart pain, partial pneumothorax (collapsed lung), pneumonia, stomach reflux, pleuritis, pericarditis, etc... One should not wait with such symptoms. The doctor can check for strep throat or influenza too.
