upper left chest sharp pain.

[nada123456]

hi i am 17 years old and lately ive been having this sharp feeling near my upper left chest area, it doesnt last very long, but happens a few times a day. My little sister recently developed heart problems so my parents have been focussing more on her then me, I feel they think im seeking for the attention shes given, but im worried about what this might be . someone please help me .

personally,I think it could be gas,you'd be surprised at where it can travel in your body.After I had my son I had gas in my left shoulder!I never knew,at that time,& it can be VERY painful.Doe's it hurt to move that area?but maybe get better after you do for awhile?maybe go to the Dr. & see if it can be that minor??Or also maybe acid reflex,can hurt bad there too.good luck to you hun!!let your parent's know,you need them too,I have 3 kid's,& i would not ignore because of another child of mine's illness.just my opinion.good luck:)

Best to go to the hospital and get a physical because it could be something very seroius

hi nada
i dnt think its heart problem coz in heart problem pain arises in left arm shoulder area not just in chest ...........nd i think it may occur due to depression tenxion. anxiety or gastric problem as well ....  if its not dat much severe as in heart problems then u need not to worry just take care of your proper meal nd sleep tymng ... and if u feel a little more pain then go to physician. tcz
