A member asked:

I am a 17 year old female what does it mean when i repeatedly feel sharp squeezing chest and heart pains. this has started 2 years ago but i have recently been feeling it happen more often. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually reflux: The entrance to the stomach is positioned just behind the heart.Backwash of stomach acid while it churns often occurs at that location with sharp pain. Antacids like Tums can give brief relief. Avoiding caffeine, carbonated drinks or laying down after meals also helps.
