im 16 and i have been getting stabbing pains on the middle of the left side of my chest and it started happening about 4 months ago sometimes i have shortness of breath and pain into my beck i know i have a heart murmur and ive never had these pains before what could be causing them
Hello, Since you have a heart murmur, we should definitely rule out heart diseases for your chest pain and breathing difficulty. So better to consult a cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2D Echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal, then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. To avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry you will be alright with all these but first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
