Im 16 years old and over a period of time Ive had moments where I get a somewhat sharp pain in my chest, in the middle to be exact and with it, it gets a lot of pressure too and Its very difficult for me to breathe. It only lasts for a few seconds every time it happens.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. At your age, stress and anxiety are more likely causes for your symptoms (central chest tightness, pain, breathing difficulty). But better to get done ECG, 2d echo and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out heart and lung diseases. If all these are normal then no need to worry much. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
