I had asthma in my childhood, but now I am experiencing chest pain in my teenage. Why?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a teenager, and I cannot get hold of anyone to help me with this. I have a bit of chest pain. Not so bad; it does not hurt much, and I do not want to concern anyone until I know if I should or not.

Again, all I have is chest pain for less than a day and a runny nose running for a week about now. I run and walk every day for about half an hour, and have not done it today as of this being sent.

This has not happened to me before that I know of. What would you say? When I was a child, aged 3 years until age 8, maybe I had asthma, and to this day, I may have nonsevere asthma that my doctor does not care about or even realize (only affects during a workout of some sort).

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern. Also, asthma is not something that disappears. You still might be having some bronchospasm, which could be the reason for your chest pain. Please also keep the possibility of a COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) infection in mind.

I would advise you to isolate yourself and take good care of your health and sleep pattern. Please run a PFT (pulmonary function test) to know the status of your asthma condition. Also, do an oxygen saturation level and a chest X-ray (posteroanterior view).

Kindly take the tablet Levocetirizine 10 mg (one tablet at night before sleep) for three days, and take a tablet Vitamin C (one tablet daily for 15 days).

Also, if you have any chest tightness and breathing difficulties, you must visit the nearest doctor as soon as possible. In case you have COVID-19 symptoms, please visit your doctor and isolate yourself.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.
