What Causes Chest Pain?

I am 22 and I am having chest pains. It just started this morning out of no where. I dont have a cough, runny nose, fever, headache...etc. It hurts to swallow, to sit up, to bend over and to breathe deep. I've had pnemonia (sp?) and the chest pain i have now feels like that, minus the cough.

Hi There

After reading the medical details provided by you I would like to suggest you to get one EKG and chest xray done and if both comes out to be normal then it's advisable to get one echo done to look for pericarditis as the symptoms you are experiencing could be due to either pneumonia relapse or could be due to pericarditis so xray, ecg and echo will verify that.

It's also advisable that you should personally consult your doctor and discuss these possibilities so that he can evaluate you properly and give treatment.

Wishyou Good Health
