chest pain

[Sully810]

For a few months now Ive been having some pain in my chest.The first time I had ever noticed it was after a failure set on leg presses,then it seemed to have went away for a while,but I still would feel it when doing dips...it seemed to show up the most on those when I would try to breath correctly.Now Ive been feeling it alot at various times...I felt it while practicing jerks,and during a few other lifts.
The best way I could describe it would be to say that it feels like someone is jabbing a finger into the center of my chest.Does anyone know what this might be,and what I can do about it?
p.s...it doesnt feel like something on the inside like my heart.It feels like something close to the surface

I had a pain in my chest over the summer, and it was a result of excess liquid build up in my chest...the doctor told me to take regular Motrin, and within a couple days it went away and hasnt been back...if something like that doesnt work, it would probably be worth going to the doctor

I also get a pain in my sternal area from time to time. It is really sharp and acts up during cold weather.

Must be a bodybuilding thing... I think my heart pumps too hard sometimes...

i get something aline the lines of what louden said.....but usually not during lifting....just random maybe once every 6 months sharp pain for...15-30 seconds then gone. as long as i dont try taking in a huge breath, which seems to egg the pain on.

My dr. told me it was a nerve being pinched. no tests or anyhting jsut his diagnosis. And because it's so random....and infrequent i just kind of forget about it. Oh yeah his treatment was to stop lifting weights...yeah...let's try that one!
