Thread: I keep getting Sharp Chest Pains?

Im 13 (nearly 14)
I keep getting Sharp Pains in my chest, mostly in my left side of my chest. It comes and goes, but when it comes it's painful. I sometimes have back/neck pains as well as the occasional stomach ache. My arms feel tired and my shoulders go stiff.
I was reading somewhere that it might be anxiety,
My friends say it could be growing pains.
And Mum doesnt believe me and gives me a tablet.
I dont want to keep having tablets, I want it sorted!

Anyone have any idea's what it could be?
Thank you x

you should maybe go to a hospital to make sure everything is okay because you are only 13 and you get back aches and sore shoulders just tell your mum that you are not lying and that you want to see a doctor as you are entitled to x

Sounds like you need a professional massage to ease all stresses and a good yoga session! when your stressed all your body tightens up. And a good sleep pattern. X

Stress is a funny thing as it causes so many ailments. To be quite fair it could be serious or just stress. Simple? No it isn't.

My advice is to go to a GP and get a diagnosis and work from there. You can go by yourself. If in doubt and you have a school nurse see her first.

iam 15 doing my exams as ususal and i get chest pains when iam tired and stressed and anxious most times it comes ands goes, , my doctor told me "calm down" and go for a jog every night and now its much better

good luck xx

I've been having the same and I'm 14 (nearly 15)
Just under your heart?
My mum told me to sit up straight because i slouch and it seems to make the pain not as noticeable...
Hope your okay! xo
