Chest and Feet pain?

Question

I'm a 15 yea old female and I'm pretty healthy. But lately, like the past week, I've been having chest pains, and my feet have been aching and sharp pains have been going threw them. I have asthma so could that have something to do with it? Just need suggestions, thanks.

Answer 1

You should go to your family doctor/internist as soon as possible -- too many teenagers have died from undetected heart problems.  If your life has been more stressful than usual during the past week, you may be having anxiety/panic attacks, but the doctor can help you control those as well.

While you are there, ask the doctor about your feet.  He/she will want to know if you have recently started exercising/running/jogging, etc., so if you possibly pulled a muscle or a tendon (yes, it is possible to do that to both feet).

I don't want to scare you, but GO TO THE DOCTOR!
