Hello doctor! I am 22 years old this year, sometimes I feel a pain in the middle of my chest, sometimes accompanied by a sharp pain that is slightly deviated to the left chest.
When I feel pain, my body is completely normal, there are no other signs. I feel like I haven't been able to relax all my muscles so it's a bit painful and uncomfortable. After a few puffs of the chest (with a sound like when cracking a knuckle), it is very comfortable and does not feel painful anymore.
However, there are many times when the chest is puffed but not called, the pain is dull and throbbing all the time, sometimes lasting a few days. I have read a few articles on the internet about this problem, it may be due to the influence of some other organs, including the digestive organs.
The doctor asked me what causes these symptoms, is it dangerous? Seek advice from doctors. I thank you.
