What are causes of chest pain?

What are some possible causes of sharp chest pain?

• For the past three years, I have been getting intermittent chest pain that is sharp and just below my left breast. It happens several times a day for maybe a week or so, every six months (often when I am somewhat stressed). Some times it feels like the pain is almost fluttering. It often hurts more if I take a very deep breath in. I am a bit under twenty years old, I exercise for an hour each day and eat very well. I get at least 7.5 hours of sleep a night, weigh 110lbs and have normal to low blood pressure. I don't smoke, drink or do drugs and never have. The only medicine I ever take is the occasional ibuprofen. I am wondering, what might cause this pain and if it is bad, what should I do about it?

• Answer:

  I think it may be a rib issue. what you need to do is not to stress. that causes alot of pain. Make sure you ice it and get alot of rest. But do not rest alot!!! it is best to exercise for 30min-1hr Every other day! If this does not work, see your doctor or pediatrician. Hope I Helped.
