No idea what brings it on. Standing, sitting, laying or exerting any effort... it doesn't seem to matter.
Blood pressure is always good (125/79 Pulse of 65 at the moment) which all leads me to think (hope) its nothing serious.
Denial??? I'm just hoping it will go away.

Dan, you are probably right. Why not establish a base line to be sure? Occasionally, a few times a year, I will get a very brief, a second or two, shooting pain in the area of my left breast. I don't bother doing anything about it. But then, I see my cardio and my arrythmia guy to check my AICD (pace/defib) 2x each year and have that stress test every other year.
I know the ground I'm standing on.
