A member asked:
I have severe anxiety and often have sharp, intense pain in the center of my chest ( sternum area ) and right side for about a minute or so. is it something i should be worried about?

"chest pain" in a 20yo will usually originate from the entrance to the stomach (located just behind the heart) the chest wall or lungs. Consuming caffeine, nicotine, acid drinks or carbonated beverages will aggravate stomach related pain. If this pressing down below your breast bone hurts, this may be heartburn and worthy of an office visit.
