Hi im 15 and i sometime get really bad stabing pains in my chest and arms. My family has no history of heart related problems and i was wondering what it could be. Also I often feel short of breath and tight chested epecially when i think about death i think this is just me panicing.
Hi thanks for asking question. You are just 15. So first don't think about death directly. Here are few possibilities.1. First because of anxiety and related stressful study can lead panic attack with sweating, headache and chest pain with difficult breath. Try to solve problem rather than taking stress. Do regular light exercise. Yoga at such a young age will be best.2. Second if you have fever, cold and headache then viral respiratory infections can lead such constitutional chest pain. Symptomatic treatment done for it. If still problem chest x-ray can be done.3. By any unaccustomed activity or heavyweight lift can lead muscular strain and chest pain. Analgesic and hot compress helpful.4. If you have allergy to certain substance then asthma congenital can be ruled out by spirometry.5. If still cause not clear rule out gastric problem that might lead to referred chest pain. I hope my suggestion will be helpful to you. Chat Doctor.
