Praecordial catch syndrome (PCS) is a common, but generally harmless, condition characterized by sudden, sharp chest pains that often alarm those who experience them. The pain is typically felt on the left side of the chest, near the heart, which is why it can be particularly frightening, especially for children and young adults, who are most commonly affected.

The pain associated with precordial catch syndrome is usually brief, lasting only a few seconds to a few minutes. It is often described as a stabbing or pinching sensation and may become more intense when the person takes a deep breath or moves. However, despite the sharpness of the pain, PCS is not dangerous and does not indicate a heart problem or any other serious medical condition.

The exact cause of precordial catch syndrome is not well understood, but it is believed to be related to the irritation or compression of the nerves in the chest wall. The pain typically resolves on its own, often suddenly and without any treatment, leaving no lasting effects.
