sharp pains.

Hi, i have been getting random sharp pains in my chest by my heart. Only on that side. Ive been having these pains for a few years but the past 7 or so months its been happening more often and the pain has been getting worse amd sharper. It feels as if something is gabbing into my chest and it becomes very hard to breath. I have told my doctor but they always find something else thats "wrong" and they need to deal with thay first. So she avoids the heart pains.Im only 16. What could be happening?

Yeah it sounds like anxiety attack.  Mine also just come out of no Were n it makes it hard to breath try asking ur doc for different meds if the anti depression pill isn't working. Trust me I know it very scary I've been having them since I was 12 I'm now 23 but one thing that helps me is when I am having an attack I remember I'm not alone. Alto of ppl suffer from this to! Hope you feel better hun
