What Causes Chest Pain On The Right And Left Side Of Heart?

I m a fifteen year old girl ive been getting chest pains on the right and left side of my heart, these pains will normally last about 10-20 seconds, there have been times where it has been up to 2 and a half minutes to 3 minutes. This doesnt happen everyday but a couple times a week, i was curious if this could just be caused from stress, or something else. I m not sure if me being quite annemic makes a difference on your diganois.

Hello,

Brief answer: Your chest pain description is typical, correct your anemia.

Explanation: My opinion is that at such a young age as yours without any risk factors chest pain is mostly due to musculoskeletal cause or anxiety. Your low hemoglobin level is a bit of concern, anemia causes some sort of palpitations fatigue and pale skin. If so it should be treated and followed up.

I suggest my patients the following: Check history for a cause of chronic blood loss, do some labs as CBC, iron study, etc., and correct accordingly. Food rich in iron such as red meat, liver, dates, and green leafy vegetables are good source of iron. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about level of hemoglobin and symptoms of blood loss menses duration and severity.

Conclusion: I suggest you get your anemia treated and chest pain follow-up.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahmmad Gamal
