15 Year Old With Dizziness, Disorientation And Nausea After Excessive Straining. Pain In The Chest While Breathing Deeply

I ran a cross country race today and soon after experienced dizziness, feeling faint, disorientation, and some nausea. I am a 15 year old female who is fit, eats very healthily, and is of a healthy weight. You may wish to note that I am currently taking roaccutane and have been for a couple of months. About 2 hours ago, I laughed and experienced a sudden sharp pain in the centre of my chest, in the upper sternum area. This pain is like a stabbing pain and is still there, particularly when I breathe deeply.

MOST LIKELY YOUR SYMPTOMS COULD BE DUE TO ANAEMIA, DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA CAN BE EXPLAINED BY DECREASED BLOOD SUPPLY TO BRAIN AT THAT PARTICULAR POINT OF TIME, I WOULD ALSO BE INTERESTED IN KNOWING THE REASON WHY U ARE USING ROACCUTANE, IS IT FOR ACNE OR FOR CHEMOTHERAPY. ROACCUTANE CAN PER SE CAUSE OF DIZZINESS IN CERTAIN INVIDUALS. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU TO STOP ROACCUTANE IF U KEEP GETTING THESE EPISODES OF DIZZINESS REPEATEDLY AND THE CAUSE OF U USING IT IS JUST ACNE.
COMING TO YOUR CHEST PAIN, IT SOUND LIKE A PLEURITIC CHEST PAIN IT CAN BE DUE TO SOME NON SPECIFIC INFECTIONS, THE TREATMENT FOR WHICH IS NON STEROIDAL ANTI INFLAMMATORY AGENTS LIKE BRUFEN. HOPE U HAD GOT THE ANSWER FOR YOUR QUERRIES.
