Heart pains at unusual ages?!


Question: Heart pains at unusual ages.?
Im 15 and my sister is 19. We both have these weird heart pains that occur randomly (mine come aobut once a week and hers are about the same). I have been noticing them since I was about 10, and at first thought they were just my breasts growing but that's not the case since it only happens on the left side. My sister doesn't know when she first noticed these pains. Online this symptom seems to lead to heart multiple types of heart dieseases. Could somebody help me figure out what this pain is.?

P.s.
I do not drink, smoke, and am athletic while my sister drinks, smokes, and is somewhat active and yet we both exhibit these pains.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
there are so many different things which can cause chest pain that its impossible for someone on the internet to diagnose so you should definitely talk to a doctor about this.

It could range from lung problems, to heart problems to stomach problems, to muscle problems.

Seeing as you are 15 and you say you are in good shape i doubt you have to worry about anything like congestive heart failure or cardiac disease. It is possible that you could both have some developmental heart defect (does the pain occur when you exert yourself a lot.? and do you get short of breath.?) though i think this is probably also unlikely.

Its also possible it could be a defect in the stomach or esophogus (hiatal hernia or something along those lines).. does the pain occur after you eat.? if so theres a good chance its this.

It could jsut be that you are still growing and it IS just normal and natural growing pains. like i said there are so many things it could be that theres no way anyone can tell you what it is over the internet. its best you each talk to your doctors and get checked out. also get your sister to STOP SMOKING or else she is going to have heart problems (if she doesnt have problems with her lungs, kidneys, stomach or bladder first)Health Question & Answer

considering family history, see GOOD doctor and keep an i on blood pressure and sugar. You may now when it happens. I sure did I am only 45, used to smoke and eat whatever. ok now but now must live cleanHealth Question & Answer

It is unlikely you or your sister have heart disease. It would show up as shortness of breath and be disabling if far enough along to cause pain. There are nerves in the breast that can cause pain without a known cause. Most heart pain is felt under the sternum in the middle of the chest or running down the left arm. It can also shoot into the jaw. Having some pain in one breast is not indicative of heart disease.Health Question & Answer

my friend had similar problem and she found out that her ribs were too close to her lungs and that is reason why her chest hurt. try getting an xray.. its not a serious problem so dont worryHealth Question & Answer
