Maybe you should call a nurse or go see a doctor. But if the pain is consistent I'm sure there is a problem.

All right, here is the deal.  I don't usually tell people what to do on this forum, but let me warn you, the excessive intergestion in the setting of chest pain is a classic sign of an inferior (meaning lower part of the heart) heart attack.  Now this may just be heartburn as suggested above, but if you are having chest pain with lots of burping right now, you may want to go to the ER just to be safe, or at least call your doctor or a nurse to ask them what to do.

It is an inflammation of the lining that covers your lungs..or infection between the lungs and rib cage..it can be painful.\n\nIt is my experience that people that get this, can get reoccurring bouts of it.  \n\nMy sister gets this and mild case she says, resolve on there own.  More serious require antibiotics.\n\nAt the hospital I have only seen patients that received antibiotics to resolve this.\n\nCheck with your Doctor if it persists more than few days or the pain gets increasing worse.  The pain can cause you to breath more shallow...and then you can develop pneumonia.

Tightening chest muscle, a tight chest. Also a pain down the left arm is a sgn of a heart attack. Feeling nauseated is a common symptom and she may have felt really groggy. Please do yourself a favour and get her checked out. Its better to be safe than sorry

when i used to work out at the gym using weights i started getting a similar sort of pain and went to see my doctor as i thought it was my heart, he told me i had torn a muscle in my left armpit and gave me tablets to fix it, but i seriously used to think i was having a heart attack as the pain also shot down my left arm. It could also be severe wind  i know it sounds stupid but wind can travel anywhere in the body. But i would get him to your doctors to be safe. good luck.

People experience a variety of symptoms when having a heart attack.  Some describe the pain as being in the middle of their chest and "crushing, squeezing, tight, pressure, or burning". Others say the pain is on the right or left side of the chest.  Sometimes the pain is excruciating and sometimes it husrts "just a little". Sometimes it extends to one or both arms, the jaw, or between the shoulder blades.  Alot of people get short of breath, nauseous, sweaty.  Some people have every single one of these symptoms, some have only one or two.  Women are more likely than men to have atypical symptoms, i.e., maybe they're a little nauseous, or their back hurts or their arm feels funny, making it difficult for them to realize it is a cardiac problem and they need to call 911....I hope this answers your question.

Do you slouch or do you sit up straight? This could be nothing more than muscle spasms or pain from trapped wind. If you were suffering heart trouble you would be feeling the pain in the centre of your chest, in your neck or your arms. I don't think it could be your liver or you would be feeling 'out of sorts' too. Call NHS direct and have a word with them to see what they think. They will not offer a diagnosis but will advise you to visit your Doctor if they think it neccessary.

You really ought to call your doctor on this one to get a chest exray to rule out things.  It could be anything from a simple virus to walking pneumonia to worse.  You could have something serious and not even know it.  Good luck

You must not worry about your BP as it seems just OK.  As far as your pulse is concerned, the cause of it being 90 could be an anxiety associated while the pulse is being counted by someone or even if you are doing it yourself.  Let someone else take your pulse when you are relaxing and free from anxiety of any sort.  \n\nYour chest pain could arise for various reasons and the most common ones being costo-chondritis (inflammation of the chest cage at the points where the ribs meet with the cartilages), a chest infection like pneumonia or pleurisy), or it may be related to heart or the pericardium.   The best thing would be that you consult your own doctor for it.  However, a simple test would determine whether it is because of the heart or the chest wall/lungs or the pleural coverings.  Try coughing.  If the pain worsens, the chances are that it is not because of the heart.  Good luck.

You might want to check out the symptoms of "costochondritis" -- inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs -- to see if that condition is similar to what you are experiencing.  (see links below)\n\nThe good news is that it's not serious, it usually goes away on its own, and it can be treated with various painkillers.  You might want to try a heating pad, or ice packs, or alternating the two.\n\nJust in case, however, I would recommend a visit to your doctor to confirm.  If it were something more serious, like your liver, gallbladder, or heart trouble, you wouldn't want to miss the early warning signs.

May be your pleural covering of your lung on the right side is affected mildly.

Most likely is gas, problems with the heart are pressure in the chest not pain, I would take him to a doctor as soon as possible just to make sure he's fine..☺

Mild pain with coughing may be entirely normal (like due to a simple chest muscle strain), but in general cough-associated chest pain indicates irritarion of the lining of the lung called the pleura.  There may be many reasons for such irritation, some of which are serious.  Some of these reasons include infection (like a pneumonia), clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) or even a tear of the pleura called pneumothorax.  A broken rib may cause such pain as well.  The bottom line is if you have significant chest pain with coughing (and especially if you are short of brath), you should see your physician as soon as possible.

I would go have that checked out by a doc. It could be something serious, or you could be developing asthma. I know I personally never had asthma until one day being around car exhaust caused me to have an asthma attack. They call it environmental asthma. Other things that can cause difficulty in breathing are muscle damage in the chest wall, or other serious problems in your lungs. It basically depends on how the pain is, and if it came on sharp and sudden. If it is sharp and sudden, go to a doc immediately. If it is a gradual onset, still go to a doc and see what they say. Good luck!

look i'm 18 years old and i've had chest pain since i was like 7 or 8 anyway i know how you feel not knowing what's wrong. i've been told it was caused by lifting stuff i'd strained/streched some muscles in my chest, i slept wrong, that they're panic attacks, it was caused by coughing due to a cold, that i had plorisy (or however you spell it), no one to this day can tell me what's wrong. i've been through the blood work, ekg's, ect. and they can't find anything wrong. i think it because when they schedule these things, during the time of having them done i'm not having the pain, so i guess that's why the basiclly tell me that it's all in my head. but hey i'm here for ya. it might take a while but in time they'll find out it's not all in out heads. in the mean time if you need omeone to talk to that understands the pain e-mail me at wolfspan16@yahoo.com . good luck though i know how painful they can be.

Since you're 16, I would wager a guess these are "growing pains"  if your height is increasing rapidly, however, there is a rare possibility that the muscles in your chest could tear, and you could develop problems breathing, due to something called a pneumothorax.  If the pain becomes severe, or you're having trouble breathing, go to the hospital immediately.

I had a bout of pleurisy that gave me similar symptoms. The symptoms can include:\nFever \nCough \nChills \nShortness of breath \nWeight loss \nPoor appetite \nSharp chest pain with breathing. Pain can limit the movement on the side of the chest with pleurisy. The pain can also be in the back around where the lungs are. \nRapid shallow breaths \nInability to take a deep breath \nItching in sites on the back (near the site of the lungs, but no visible rashes) \n\nSince the symptoms are similar to a heart attack, I urge you to see a doctor for evaluation. An EKG can rule out the heart attack pretty quickly.
