What Causes Heaviness Around The Chest?
Im 15 about 5'9" and weigh about 130. My question is my chest near my heart fells like there is something heavy on top of it. It's not an everyday thing just once or twice a month, but it starting to worry me a little bit. What should I do and what do you think it could be?

Hi
I understand your complain and i will try to give you some information.
According to your age and if you do not smoke or drink alcohol the most cardiac diseases are excluded.
But to be sure may an EKG might be done.
For lung diseases it is better a Chest X Ray and nothing more.
If you have other questions i am here to respond and help you further.
Thank you
