Precordial Catch Syndrome (PCS), also known as Texidor's twinge, is a common cause of chest pain complaints in children and adolescents. It also occurs less frequently in adults. PCS manifests itself as a very intense, sharp pain typically at the left side of the chest which is worse when taking breaths. The pain is very similar to the pain associated with heart attack, which creates panic in the victim. This typically lasts 30 seconds to 3 minutes and then is resolved as quickly as it began.
