Tight/painful chest?
I'm 14 and recently (few months ago) I was diagnosed with ibs. it was more of a guess my doctor said he didn't want to give me tests and blood tests ruled out everything. I feel I have a very bad anxiety problem I get paranoid about people rejecting me and stuff. recently I've been having sharp pain in my chest. (the top in centre but more to
left) but I've experienced it in my back in
the same area and more on right side. it also feels tight when I lay down which sometimes gives me small dificulty in breathing. I feel the pain mainly when I hysterically laugh and breathe in but it's getting more random. I'm going to a doctor tomorrow should I suggest I feel anxiety is causing it?

turns out its somthing sydrome which only lasts like 3 weeks or more. its the inflammation of the cartilage between the ribs, so you were right there :) thanks
You definately need to be honest with your Dr. If you feel anxiety if causing you problems it probably is. Anxiety causes digestive issues with alot of us anxiety sufferers. If you are honest with you Dr then they can help you find the real problem.
