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

I’m 22. I’ve been constipated for several years, and I’m going but I feel like there’s stool that I can’t get out. Since around summer or fall last year, I’ve been having a feeling of fullness right under my chest. In September 2024, I also felt like I started having chest pain or pain right below my chest that would radiate to my back. It gets better at times and I don’t really notice it, but other times I feel like something’s wrong. Today I was exercising, and not too long afterwards, maybe 30-60 minutes, I started having a sharp pain either in my chest or right below it, and it’s radiated to my back at times. I felt tired today too, and like I want to go into a deep sleep but if I rested I don’t know if I’d go into a deep sleep. What could be causing this feeling, and could it be something serious?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Heart & Blood Health Support Group.

You should see a GI Doctor to check your bowel and stomach and I would suggest you also see a cardiologist ASAP, in case your having anxiety related chest pains or a Hearts issue you need medication for! Please see those two Doctors , you can get a referral if needed from you primary if they don't know these concerns, tell them first!
Best wishes!
