What can cause a sharp pain either in my chest or right below it?

@emilystewart30 Yes, gallstone symptoms can go on for several months - even years. Your symptoms sound a lot like mine before I was diagnosed with gallstones. Here’s some information on it:

End of the month seems a long time to wait for a family physician’s appointment. Sounds like you live in Canada! Perhaps you could give the receptionist a call and ask her to put you on the wait list for any cancellations before the end of the month.
If you had a chest X-ray it would only show if anything is wrong with your lungs or ribs but it will not show anything else wrong. Gallstones would be seen on an abdominal ultrasound.

Thanks for sending the article. I don’t have all the symptoms of gallstones or a gallstone attack, but I’m not saying I don’t have it. I haven’t been nauseous or vomiting, but maybe it’s possible to have it and not be nauseous.
If it’s alright to ask, what were your symptoms like?
I feel like I have a sharp pain either in my chest or right below it that kind of comes and goes, but I feel off most of the time. Sometimes the pain radiates to my back, and I’m worried to go into a deep sleep because I’m not sure if something would happen. I assume I’m sleeping during the night and don’t really wake up through the night, so I’m not sure if it’s in my head.
