      I had it happen in the middle of the night the first time, took a shot of whiskey, accepted my death, then went back to sleep to die peacefully.

      When this happens in the chest region, the fix is to take a painfully deep breath, hold it for 30 seconds while pushing down and out, and let it out. Fixed.

      Happens to me all the time. My partner finally had it happen for the first time ever and thought he was dying, I laughed told him to do the above and that mf had the audacity to be surprised it worked. Asshole.

    I had very sharp heart pain scares for a month, and then I realized that my friend and I have been doing a running bit where we clap our hands very quickly and excitedly before eating really good food or buying tickets to a show, and the day after i stopped clapping like that, the sharp stabbing pain in my chest went away.

    I tried sleeping differently, stretching, all sorts of things before I realize that I was just clapping too maniacally.

      My friend, I’ve had something similar happen to me. I’m glad you figured it out.

        Thanks, I was actually pretty scared for a while there, and immensely relieved when not clapping so often turned out to be the remedy hahah
