I've been having this sudden sharp chest pain that comes and goes in about 3 minutes. It gets worse when I breathe deeply or move around. Sometimes it just goes away on its own, but other times drinking water or taking Omeprazole 20mg seems to help. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

I've been on Nebicard 5 mg for about three years and I'm also taking Ciplar, Serta, and Etizola for anxiety and panic attacks as my psychiatrist prescribed. I have mild MVP and I'm really concerned about whether taking Nebicard and Ciplar together might cause any problems. Plus, I'm experiencing random episodes of excessive sweating. Could this be linked to my MVP or is it just part of my anxiety? I'm worried and would appreciate any insight you might have.

I'm feeling this sharp pain in the upper left part of my chest every time I cough or yawn, and it's got me worried. Sometimes, it also feels really tight in that area, even when I'm not doing anything. Can you tell me what's going on?

The sharp pain and tightness in your chest could be due to muscle strain, especially around the rib cage, or it could be related to heartburn or even anxiety. However, if the pain persists or worsens, its important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues like heart conditions or lung problems.
