Yes chest pain seems to be a common thing, often labelled costochondritis or pleurisy. I agree - its worth having it checked out to rule out other causes. Better to be on the safe side

Yes it is normal to have chest pain but you should still have it checked out.

I get them on & off. Told my Rheumy & he's sending me to get an EEG with my primary dr. You need to inform your Rheumy ASAP!

If you have indigestion or intracoastal conditions you'll get severe chest pain. There are also muscles that run under the arm go to your GP they usually have the ekg machine right there....no horrible Hospital.
