Chest pain is a common symptom that affects
between 20 and 40 of the general
population during their life. As such, it is not
entirely unusual to feel pains in your chest, for
a number of reasons. There are many possible
chest pain causes, some of which indicate an
immediate threat whilst others may result from
injury, chronic conditions, or something less
serious altogether.

  pneumonia, pleurisy, etc.
• What to Do When You Experience Chest Pain
• Chest pain should never be ignored. If you
  experience sudden chest pain that lasts longer
  than five minutes, even after youve taken
  medication or rested, seek immediate medical
  attention, and get to the closest AE as soon as
  possible. If your chest pain is accompanied by
  nausea, fainting, shortness of breath or blue
  lips and fingers, you might be suffering a heart
  attack.
• You may chew on aspirin to act as a blood
  thinner. This can prevent clotting and keep blood
  flowing through narrowed arteries. However, steer
  clear of aspirin if your chest pain is due to
  injury or if you are allergic or take other
  blood-thinning medication.
