I've been experiencing these sharp, needle-like pains in my chest that come and go within a few seconds. At first, they were on the right side, but now they're also happening on the left and sometimes even under my left arm. This all started after I began having that burping, indigestion feeling last week. I've noticed that physical exercise gives me a bit of relief, but it still feels like maybe there's a burp stuck in my chest or something. Should I be concerned about this?

If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
