chest pain

My boyfriend has been worried a lot more than usual the past 2 weeks.. He has been suffering from chest pain that is starting to scare him. It seems that he is set into a panic once this pain starts I think it is due to stress, but he isn't so sure. He is only 24 years old, and says that it is a sharp pain that is worse when he breathes in. Could this be stress related?

Should visit a doctor, cardio or the ER.  Chest pains can be caused by many things.  Stress, anxiety, acid reflux, costocondritis, heart etc......  

My suggestion, would be to visit a doctor, for evaluation.
