On going chest pain for a very long time
by morteza, Apr 17, 2009 08:58PM
I have been experiencing chest pain for about 9 months now. The chest pain usually lasts for seconds but sometimes up to 3 minutes and isnt the sort of pain described in heart attacks. Its a really weired and changing pain around my chest at specific places, usually small areas, and is usually towards the left side of my chest and sometimes right. Sometimes the pain is sharp and sometimes its not. Sometimes theres a burning sensation but im sure i dont have heart burn as my doctor has done alot and that hasnt got anywhere.
Also, I have had a cough for very long but not as long as the pain --- however i believe my coughs are because of a very itchy throat and they are not chesty coughs that you get when you have a lung infection and im not coughing up blood.
I am only 17 - and the closest I have come to smoking is doing shisha (arabic style bong with flavoured tabacco ususally 0% tar) around 8 times max.
I have had a chest X-ray without any problems and also various types of blood tests without problems.
However this chest pain is really woorying me and i just dont know what to do

For me, the pain feels more like my sternum and ribs are bruised or sore. The soreness is pretty manageable...by massaging the area of taking ibuprofen.
Sometimes, however, there is also a sharp sudden pain in various places - sometimes the left and sometimes the right side.
Sometimes I've also experienced shortness of breath usually at night when I lie down to sleep. I'm a 22 year old female and I don't smoke. I try to convince myself it's just anxiety.
I hope things get better for you - maybe knowing there's someone out there with similar symtoms will help?
