If you have pain in the middle of your breast bone?

It can be a simple muscle pull, or indigestion (heartburn), or for other reasons it also can be very serious like a heart attack. If you have chest pain you should have it checked out. Some other symptoms of a heart attack is pain radiating down one or both arms. I don't want to scare you but if you are having a heart attack something should be done quick and you should err on being safe rather than sorry.

Do allergies cause chest pain?

Yes, allergies can cause chest pain. If a person inhales an allergen into the mid-lower respiratory system (throat/lungs) and that allergen causes an allergic response such as swelling then there is the potential for chest pain to occur. But, keep in mind that unresolved chest pain should be evaluated by a physician as soon as possible; this could be chest pain relating to a heart attack and not an allergic response. One way to tell the difference: if the pain gets worse when you inhale and exhale or push down on your chest...then its probably not a heart attack, but if the chest pain remains unchanged with pressing down or inhaling/exhaling is more then likely to be related to the heart and might need quick treatment.
