Why do I have a sharp pain in my lower left arm?

Sharp stabbing pain in the center/left side of my chest and down my left arm?

• I am a 15 year old girl I am 5'3 I weigh 110 lbs. I have had chest pains through out my whole life. I went to the ER last year because of chest pains but they didn't find anything wrong. I have the loss of breath at times but not all the time. Today at school in 1st period the center/left side of my chest, the left side of my collar bone and down my arm. Its a sharp stabbing pain and it lasts for 5-10 seconds and goes away, then 5 or something minutes later it comes back and does the same thing? I'm really worried because I have had things like this going on for most of my life. What do you think and what should I do?

• Answer:

  just go see a cardiologist. They could give you a heart monitor to wear to record these episodes and other tests such as Stress Test, ultrasound etc...
