What Causes Constant Pain Underneath The Heart?
I have been having a sharp pain under neath my heart for the longest time when I was in 4th grade my mother took me to the doctor several MRIs were done I was told I had severe anxiety but I m in 8th grade and I don t seem to have anxiety and these pains are constant. When I breathe it hurts and I have to take slow breaths or the pain continues these last to sometimes 15-30 minutes and I m not sure what to do.

Hi,
There are a number of physical causes for pain on taking a deep breath.
Since a number of years have elapsed since you were reviewed for your chest pain, it would be best for you to be seen by a doctor again.
In addition to physical examination, imaging of the chest by an x ray may be needed (depending on examination findings).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
