  Alright... I have so far ruled out a chest infection (pneumonia & pleuritis), anxiety, and arrhythmias...
  
  Question: If you gently press on the sides of your sternum, do you feel any pain?
  
  Question: Any medication that you are taking?

  No, it's because the birth is premature, and his head has not engaged in the pelvis to allow a normal delivery... hence an extraction via caesarean section will be much safer...

  Question : what/where is the sternum?
  Question: currently no

  Coz the mother has renal failure, and this will increase the risk of heart failure as well, leading to both the death of the mother and the fetus. In pregnancy, there is an increase in the demand of blood supply to the fetus (the heart hence have to beat faster and stronger and the kidney has to be sufficient in clearing away toxins and preserving needed nutritions), if the body is not able to supply this, the fetus will not survive.

  sternum is basically the place where ur ribcage meets. try tracing ur fingers along ur ribcage (the bottom one). think so

  I've ruled out another common disease - costochondritis...
  
  Now I want to know more about this trauma... was there any rib fracture, was there any X-ray done, and what were the findings?
  
  2 years ago when the pain started, was there any trauma?
  
  Now, when you experience the pain again, was there any trauma as well?
  
  Can you recall all the episodes of the pain you had in a timeline? How long does the pain last and how frequent does the pain come?
  
  You told me that the pain is crushing in nature, but is it sharplike?

  there was no checkup on any doctors on this trauma
  
  6-7 years ago it happens every 2-3 months once, few years back.... once every 5-6 months..
  
  and now...for the past 2 years..only such 2 happenings every 10 or 11 months..close to a year
  
  Pain: lasting only for a few seconds(1-2 seconds)
  Pain: just a sharp nick before the crushing follows

  My sole advice to you is to get a chest X ray done and get the findings... It is better to know what is happening inside, since your current symptoms are more suggestive of a trauma rather than most of the important causes mentioned above...
  
  You are in not much of risk and your symptoms does not describe that you have angina or any sort of related disorders...
  
  I believe it is a post-trauma event where you are having this pain progressively in lesser frequency...

  Patient confidentiality is important, but if the patient is willing to let it be known, then it's okay... if he feels shy, he can PM me...
