Help answer this question below.

Whenever I see someone get injured (on TV or otherwise) I get a sharp pain in my chest that lasts for about a second, are these sympathy pains? What exactly are they and what causes them?

    It sounds like one of the muscles in your chest might tend to spasm briefly when it is contracted suddenly. Watching anything that affects our emotions does cause a physiological response which includes the tensing and/or relaxing of certain muscles. I would advise checking with a doctor just to make sure it isn't anything serious.
