A member asked:
I have a random sharp pain in my chest muscle. it almost goes from my elbow to the chest. i did work out and lift at the gym today. but could it be heart related?

Does the pain increase with arm movement? If so, this is muscular pain that is not heart related. Does the pain increase with deep breathing? If so, it is more likely muscle pain. If you are unsure about the pain or if it is worsening even at rest, then call your doctor or go to the nearest ER or urgent care to get evaluated, including an EKG. It is unlikely to be your heart but never say never!
