Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 14-year-old who weighs 130 pounds and has a height of 5'6 feet. I have been experiencing pain in my left and middle chest that extends into my shoulder and back. These pains occasionally recur, especially when I try to rest by lying down after working out. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.

Chest pain can have various causes, including muscle strain, indigestion, or anxiety. To rule out any serious problems, a medical practitioner should examine any chest pain. Given your age and symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. A healthcare provider will assess your symptoms, perform necessary examinations, and provide an accurate diagnosis. They may also ask about your medical history, family history, and other relevant information. In the meantime, try to stay calm and avoid any activities or positions that trigger or worsen the pain. It is essential to listen to your body and not push yourself if you are experiencing discomfort during exercise. Please seek emergency medical attention if you develop severe or persistent discomfort, shortness of breath, or any other unsettling symptoms. Remember, my advice is not a substitute for a doctor's visit, examination, diagnosis, or treatment. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.

I hope this will help you.

Thank you.
