Chest pain
I have been having chest pain since February of 2011. It is a constant pain and at least once a week I get a severe stabbing pain in my chest that hurts really bad! I have gotten 3 today and it is now affecting my everyday life. I need opinions on what to do. I have gone to the doctors about 2 times and they don't really tell me anything!!!

I'm only 15 I'll be 16 in may.
Are you taking any type of pain killers? Or having lack of sleep?
My boyfriend was having chest problems and found out it was because he was taking to much ibuprofen. And a friend of mine gets chest pains if not enough sleep.
I get plenty of sleep and I hate taking pills. I only take them when I absolutely need too
After getting varied opinions from 5 different doctors - I finally found out that I have Tietze Syndrom. I'm searching now to find out what causes it and what I can do about it. Good luck! Chris

Hi
Are you drinking a lot of soda? It could be gas. I would get checked because that sounds uncomfortable and you never know nowadays..not to alarm you but I have heard news stories of youngsters collapsing during sports and passing away. Age is not a guarantee against anything.
Speak with your parents and get a comprehensive physical exam with an EKG. Meanwhile try some tums or milk of magnesium and see if that helps.
Take care dear,

I've been to my doctor 5 times now have had 5 or more tests and they don't telle anything! And I rarely drink soda and it is extremely uncomfortable! Nothing helps! I am scheduled for a scope in a couple weeks! I honestly don't know what to do! And I feel bad saying all my problems on here but it seems no one else will give me answers and I feel like if I don't get and answer really soon I am just going to breakdown!!!
