Chest Pain/strange chest sensations

I am a 34 year old female and have recently had central chest pain that lasted just a second and then would go but this happened on several occasions. I went to hospital ten days ago and they did a chest xray and ecg and confirmed everything was normal and diagnosed gastro eusophogal reflux disease and gave me omeprazole which have stopped the pains. However I am now getting strange sensations in my heart or that area that doestn hurt but feels a little bit like a pinch or a shock. I dont feel as though my heart is skipping a beat but I am quite worried. I have a docs appt tomorrow and I feel as though they will think I am wasting there time. I suffered from palps last year and wore a monitor for 24 hrs and all that was fine.  Any help anyone?

I am 56  male quite a bit older that you. Yes I get the same sensations, I have pac pvc and I feel them on the hard beat usually when exercising. For me it is a quick moderatly sharp pain center chest,  I would not discribe it as a pinch. sensations are so personal. It goes a little into my throat like a light squeeze. Yes in is VERY disconcerting, I feel for you to have this type of thing at such a young age :-(  That is something that I think is in your favor. As I read the comments on  heart problems, chances are yours isnot heart related. It seems the chest area is a VERY complicated place. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Could you please keep me updated on what the doctor tells you. The same conditions that you described are happening to me. I am a male and I am 32 years old. I have that pinching or shocking sensation around my heart area and I am kind of worried. Also I have been feeling numbness on my arms and legs. I haven't gone to the doctor because I have no insurance and I am just hoping that the numbness and pinching just go away.

any help will be greatly appreciated.
