By the sound of things it sounds like pluretic chest pain, which as to do with your lungs!. Its not stress related either!. Basically there's 2 linings around your lungs and in between this lining there is a liquid that prevents these 2 linings from rubbing together when you breathe!. Now from time to time there could be and insufficient supply of this liquid or there could be an inflammation from having a cough or a cold!. So what happens is it causes the 2 linings to rub and create friction so when you breath in or lean forward and push on where it hurts it causes sharp stabbing pains!. Its very common in young people and like i said those who have a cough or a cold or it could come on spontaneous like in your case!. Take comfort in the fact that theres nothing wrong with your heart!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It could actually be allergies!. The nasal sinuses connect with your respiratory system!. Sometimes when someone is having an asthma attack, they have the exact same symptoms as the ones you are describing!. If you don't trust the hospital results, you can schedule an appointment with an allergy doctor to run respiratory tests to make sure it's not asthma!. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it really is!.!.!.!.

Because you say it moves from one side to the other makes me think that it may be gas!. When they x-rayed you, did they mention seeing this!? Sounds crazy but try drinking a "hot" glass of water when you feel this pain and see if it relieves it!. If it does, it is probably gas as the hot water relaxes your stomach and also helps you relax!. If it continues, you may want to have a upper GI series to make sure you don't have a hernia!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it can be heart burn, or inactivity!.!.!. thats the most common at least!.!. Just so you know the Xray can't check out if you have heart problems you have to be recorded!.!. This is when they stick a bunch of stickers on your chest for a week and tape what your hearts doing throughout the day!. There are images that look for heart damage!.
But I would guess heartburn or inactivity,!.!. it can be something serious though so make sure your okWww@Answer-Health@Com
