How Can severe Lower Chest Pain Be Treated?
My 21 year old son woke me up in the middle of the night complaining of an achy pain in his Lowe chest. He ate very little yesterday, mainly Girl Scout cookies and a hot dog with a Mountain Dew. He seldom complains about feeling bad and has an awful diet. He s been coughing the last few days. Do you think I can wait until morning to take him to a doctor or do you think I should take him to an emergency room? YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
If the pain is not too much, and he is not vomiting too much or is not very sick, I don't think you need to take her to the ER.
Such problems in young people are seldom serious. Maybe some gas trapped, or bad food. So not to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
