I am 25 years old in fairly good health
never had any serious problems in my life.
But periodically I experience these
extremely sharp pains in my chest when I
try to breath. The only way to make the
pain go away is to breath really shallow.
It usually goes away after about 10 or 20
min but the pain has not stopped for 2
days now. I cant take a deep breath or it
sends a sharp stabbing pain through my
chest and I feels like it is in my lungs
any questions or advice would be nice

Hey,
i'm 16, and having the same
problem too. I have been since 6th grade.
My mom has told me its growing pains or
from stress, but I don't think so. If
you've found something out will you tell
me too! Thank you.

It could be several things. You could
have your back or a rib out of place. You
could have acid reflux disease. Or you
could be having anxiety attacks. I think
everyone gets those occasional sharp pains
when you breath. The occasional ones
will usually go away if you change your
position until you get comfortable and it
goes away. But, I would suggest going to
the doctor anyway to rule out serious
problems.
