Teenager with upper chest pains.?

Question

I'm 15, and ever since about 4 days ago, I've been having dull pains in the middle of my upper chest, and it hurts when I breath in. The pains also go to the right side of my neck and chest, and my right rib (under it). Any ideas? I know I couldn't have pulled a muscle, and I can't see a doctor for a while. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

i would go to urgent care or ER to rule out any heart problem but it might be indigestion or severe heartburn  

Answer 2

Chest pain is very vague, that's why seeing a doctor can narrow things down to offer best option for treatment, if need be. It could be a pulled muscle, yes, or it could be other things like asthma, pneumonia, acid reflux, etc. Please see a doctor, even if it means paying out of pocket.

Answer 3

it could be growing pains. not to sound crass but you are still 'developing'. and it is all part of the growing up stage.  

Answer 4

go to an urgent care or ER.
