been getting these sharp stabbing pains in my chest for a while now. Went to the doctor's a while ago and they said it was common for young males who were quite active to get them 
Right at the top of my chest and then to the left slightly. Which apparently is good because it means it's not my heart 
Happens when I breath in, feels like someone is stabbing me (or would I imagine a stabbing would feel like).
Anyone else get this? Makes me short of breath.

yeah i get them too everynoe and again, then if you move and stretch a bit it goes, but takes your breath away when it happens, very stabbing
EDIT: my missus gets them too

If you inhale and hold it in does the pain go? I get a mad pain every now and then?

I went to the docs Shelly, they didn't do anything. Told me to take antibiotics and that was it.

It just hurts thats all something can't be right for it to cause that much pain.

thing is, when you get them, you immediately think "OMFG i'm having a heart attack" 
i find that holding your breath, or going "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH" and laying on the floor twitching works.

Ok
I've been there twice now both times they didn't do anything. Wouldn't mind a scan just to make sure. Might have an alien growing in there or something
