I'm feeling this weird pain in the center of my chest whenever I breathe deeply or move suddenly. It's been happening since this evening and while it goes away for a bit, it keeps coming back. I'm trying to figure out if this might just be from a cold or if it's more like an infection. Who should I be talking to about this? What kind of doctor would handle something like this?

How do I know if my chest pain is serious?

Any chest pain needs physical examination by a doctor and tests to know the cause. On a general note, if chest pain is associated with heart burn, abdominal bloating, belching then it may be due to gastritis which may be managed at home. If chest pain is sudden, radiating to left arm/ shoulder and is associated with sweating, breathing issue then it may be due to a cardiac condition which needs immediate hospital visit.

I'm feeling a lot of heaviness in my chest and I'm having trouble breathing. It's like I can't take a full breath and whenever I try, it feels like it just stops and I can't hold it in for long. What could this be?
