It's harmless. You are too young to be having any serious chest problems.

I've had this happen to me before when I was younger, but it doesn't happen anymore. If you're still worried, you are free to go see a doctor. :P

I get precordial catch syndrome quite regularly - painful, but I don't experience any left arm numbness, so I'm not sure if it's the same thing

Idk, it's possible that the shock from sharp chest pain caused him to believe his arm went numb, but again he can go see a doctor if he wants and get it checked.

Yeah, it hurts a lot. I panicked the first time and thought it was a heart attack lol. In the wiki article, it says PCS can happen from "being inactive" so I guess it is because gamers sit in their rooms all day and don't exercise. =(
