question: I have been experiencing severe chest pain for the past month. It first started out that it hit me suddenly and lasted about an hour. A week went by and it happened again. This past week it started happening every few days. The pain is right under my boobs on both sides and in the middle of my back. No position makes it feel better. Its a feeling of being squished. And in my back its almost as if I have been hit with something hard. The pain lasts now up to about two hours. What could this be?
