I've been noticing this pain in the center of my chest that lasts for a few minutes and just comes and goes. Should I be worried that it's something serious?
Chest pain can be caused by various reasons, some of which can be serious. It is important to rule out any heart-related issues. I recommend you to take an ECG test to check your heart's electrical activity. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief as needed. If the pain persists or worsens, seek medical attention immediately.
