Ever Felt This Sudden Excruciating Pain In Your Left Chest And Thought You Were Going to Die?

First, check for swords sticking out of your ribs. If there are none, and the pain feels like someone’s pinching your ribs with a pair of pliers, check to see if someone’s pinching your ribs with a pair of pliers. If no one’s around, you’re probably experiencing Precordial Catch Syndrome.

Although not much is known about what causes it, it’s actually rather common and more importantly, harmless. And for the longest time here I thought I had a strange heart problem. The internet is a wonderful beast.
