i dont know what it is but it hurts

Blondie	Your a loser, I bet u can't get a girl friend

Casey C	It is your heart. You are dying. Grab grandpa's Nitroglycerin pills and hope for the best (swallow the pills first).

guicho79	O. D.?

pomona_909	maybe u need exercise

nipsy3	A doctor told me that this could simply be indigestion, even though the pains aren't coming from the abdomen. The way I understood it, is that the pressure from the digestive tract is pushing upward causing pain elsewhere. This results in the chest pains. Ask a doctor to be sure. This is by no means expert advice.

?	Did you just eat? it may be gas or indigestion. Otherwise it may be anxiety or Pluresy. calm down. if it continues...see a doctor.

THANK YOU FOR THE VENOM	yo shane!

Mo L	If you smoke it might be that...

nick_my_dog	R u a boy or a girl? Go c your doctor. Take Ibprofin.

adam fine	hart attuck

G L	just chest pain and nothing going down your arm ? than probably not a heart attack. it could be a hernia yes stomach acid going up your tube can cause it. That was my case an emergency room visit and all I needed was a Tums my friend had a stone and also was put on EKG becasue they were sure it was a heart attack and it was just a stone trying to pass. Or as simple as a pulled muscle in your back

LABL	If your chest feels tight like it has a heavy weight on it or if the pain spreads to your arm or your jaw, you could be having a heart attack. It is possible. Take a baby Aspirin immediately and call 911 if it continues longer than 5 more minutes. Time is of the essence in a heart attack. God bless

Arizona	GAS... Seriously. take Zantac.! No joke

Romili	probably gastric pains, take meals properly on time, i'm 18 and i get those pains as well, i think my ones r gastric pains

Italian Stallion	if its while you're running, it's normal and not a threat, if it's when you're not doing anything, thats when its a problem

2005	maybe u are going to get your period.. ( if u are a girl)... u need to go to the doctor..

p_wabbit	have you ever seen the movie "Alien" ? ..

redheaded	could it be growing pains in your breasts? If its a sharper pain perhaps its indigestion...a heart attack is uncommon at your age. Hope for growing pains wooohooo....double D's here we come...lol

john g	I was the same age when i had bad pains in my chest. especially when I breathed. It turn out 2 b a pulled muscle. This is a TEST for STROKE victims " first 3 letters of STROKE 1: S--have them SMILE 2: T--Have them TALK 3: R--- have them RAISE their hands. If they have difficulty in any of these procedures it might possibly b a STROKE. GET 2 THE DOCTORS

cat.tuck	chest pains at any age is nothing to mess with. had a 18 year old heart attack vic at hospital plenty

Strawberry Pony	Registered Nurse here; Pure speculation here on the Internet as to what may be causing your chest pain. Here's the very best professional advice I can offer. Take 2 bayer Aspirin now, unless you have been instructed not to due to other health problems. Go to the nearest emergency room, yes 17 is very young to have a heart condition, however it could be a murmur that is causing your pain, pulled muscle or tendon. Just to much speculation, chest pain, please go to the E.R. just to make sure it's not your heart.

Irene M[urmaider]	I suggest that you go to a doctor and have regular check ups. You can't know for sure exactly what is going on in your body unless you get it checked out.

notyou311	It could be anything from heart trouble to pneumonia. You need to see a Dr. immediately.

manni	go to the hospital or doctor its better to be safe than sorry

audrey083055	why are you asking people on the internet for an answer to such an very imprtant and maybe a dangerous question. GO NOW and tell your parents and get them to take you to a doctor to check it

khye	If you are a smoker, see your doctor otherwise it could be a problem with your heart. needs to be checked

Cheryl	Its probably anxiety attacks, you need to see a doctor to verify

Momof3boys	Are you under a lot of stress? Anxiety attacks are quite common and usually caused by mental stress. I'd get in to see your doctor and talk to her about what's going on. You might be able to get a prescription for an anti-anxiety drug. Needless to say, you also want to rule out any more serious heart problems.
