Do you think i should be worried about short sharp chest pains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Short, sharp pains are not typical of angina but can be indicative of pericarditis or pleurisy. If it's a rare to occasional pain and seems unpredictable, it's likely normal. But if it's troubling, getting worse, or happening often, you should get it checked out.
