Q: sudden short pain in middle of chest, which goes away after a couple seconds
Thanks for your post. You really need to speak with a doctor as soon as you are able. It would be impossible for me to determine what is happening. If it is of grave concern, call 911 that is why the fire and rescue are there. It might be a serious situation, but you will not know until you get a professional medical evaluation.
In the meantime you may find more information by reading our material in Understanding Heart Conditions.
Hope this helps and All the best, sue
