I am 24 years old and I have minor chest pain occasionally. It's not really painful just an annoyance. It's usually on the right side and there is a slight bit of pain along with pressure. It usually goes away within 5-10 minutes. What could this be?

See a chiropractor (to make sure things are where they belong) and a massage therapist because most of the pain on our front side is caused by our back side.

Other useful info - Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Could be gas. But better to get a check up done. See the book, "Hidden Causes of Heart Attack and ..." by Christian Wilde. A review of that book is available (along with all details to enable you to order the book) at http://swamyreviews.blogspot.com

When the blog opens, scroll down to the third book.
