Shooting chest pain lasts for seconds.

Question

Asked for Female, 21 Years

Hi, I couldn't sleep properly I rested for very little time today. However, I did not have any chest pain in the morning or the afternoon. Now in the nighttime, I got sudden shooting chest pain on the right side of the chest that can be compared with a sudden leg ache or headache that comes and goes for a few seconds. Also, had an extra heartbeat in the chest. Is this heart-related? Why will we get chest pain when we are sleep-deprived?
