Sharp chest pain pushing through to my back, shortness of breath, dry throat and fatigue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Emergency Room time?: Having new sharp chest pains is a serious enough for an exam right away. One's doctor can look for a pneumothorax or other chest problem. Inflammation of the linings of the ribs, the lungs, or the heart can also cause chest pain. Evaluation may be done at an ER, where it is easy to get an exam, a chest x-ray, and an EKG plus lab tests to rule out a heart attack (extremely rare in young adults).
