I've been experiencing the same thing! Does the pain also spread into your back/shoulders and sometimes jaw/neck? it's really unpleasant, I usually just take ibuprofen and tums at the same time and lay in bed w heating pad till it fades

I don't take painkillers because I'm scared of missing vital pain. Still not sure it isn't my heart, although I've had two ekg tests. Sometimes chest pain is sharp and in a small area and it can be close to or nowhere near a mealtime. Bizarre.
