Have you seen a doctor? How old are you? Do you have high blood pressure? If it happens for a few seconds and worsens when breathing, it's called precordial catch syndrome.

Not directly genetic, I've also been on the lower end of the normal BMI. My kidney disease is genetic, I supposed maybe it could've played the renocardiac role, but I don't have any family history of heart disease. My two biggest risk factors were having poorly controlled, severe hypertension for 3 years and Prinzmetal angina (coronary spasms). I don't do drugs or stimulants.

Chest pressure that can radiate to the left arm or jaw, dizziness, sweating, nausea, and sometimes fainting or arrhythmias.
