i would say its not at your age and i would say its anxiety, these days young people live way to fast and have a lot going, try to slow down see if that helps.

p.s just saw your age and chances of it being your heart are slim but still get it checked

first have you been to a cardio dr and had any test ran to check out your heart.

if its anxiety yes it can cause your chest to feel many different ways and yes it can cause you to be short of breath to, anxiety can make you feel like your dieing and its just no fun, but always check out whats going on before you put it to anxiety
