No one has been able to pinpoint this one..

OK so.

I'm sixteen years old, and I was born two months prematurely. I've been diagnosed with asthma..and all the stuff associated with underdeveloped lungs. However, I have sharp, almost stabbing pains frequently located in my lower ribcage. I also have a dull and achy pain in my upper chest, and I have the constant hiccups. I'm in incredible shape, I run cross country, play soccer, swim and run track, and my BMI is about 17. I also have a pulsating abdomen and chronic headaches. I've gone in to get my bloodwork done recently, and they were looking for anemia and those sort of things and nothing showed up. I have cists on my kidney, but no one can seem to figure out what's up.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Megan

They checked for that and I've been to the chiropractor several times with that diagnosis, and after four months of "fixings" nothing has changed.
