Is this normal or not? I just never noticed having to crack my chest constantly before but now I feel the need to do it everyday. I can get myself to feel the pain in my chest on command when I bring down my elbow to my hip on either sides. I noticed that I sleep on my stomach a lot not sure if it compresses my chest or something or if it’s irrelevant. I smoke those disposable vapes a lot because I use it to help me stop weed which I used to smoke constantly for 2 years, now I only smoke occasionally but I do smoke vapes a lot. I can crack it and it makes a popping sound but the tightness doesn’t fully go away. And since then my chest has been feelings super tight everyday I wake up to the point where I’ll try to crack my chest many times a day because of how uncomfortable it is.

For example, a sudden sharp pain in chest that goes away quickly left side can be an indication of a heart problem. However, it is not always associated with heart attack. Chest X-rays showed consolidations, primarily in the upper lobes, and HRCT scans showed ground glass attenuation opacities, consolidations and air-space nodules. In fact, a sudden sharp pain in the chest is commonly a symptom of a heart attack. Hey I’m a 24 year old male and starting a few months ago I’ve been getting this weird rare chest pain that would come and go on the left side where my heart is but idk if it’s my chest or heart. Here, we report high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings in a patient who developed sudden hemoptysis, dyspnea and chest pain after smoking crack cocaine.
