Chest Pain

2018-02-12 20:05:03
I woke up this morning with pain in my chest. Not a dull pain, but a sharp pain when I took a breath or moved. It went away for a little while, or I ignored it. Now again, 6 hours later it happened again. It's hard to take a deep breath because it hurts. Pain is located central chest area, below right pectoral muscle. I feel some pain when I push on my sternum.
