Sharp heart pains and painful breathing. how to soothe the pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seek a physician: Need more info. If pain increase with activities/improve with rest; any other symptom associated like shortness of breath, palpitations, sweating, dizziness; any irradiation to shoulder back or neck; any position improved the pain. Chest pain worsening with breathing make me think of chest wall pain, pneumonia/pleurisy, and angina if other risk factors associated. Seek a good history/physical.
