My chest has been hurting for quite some time now. I went to the doctors and the told me to take zantac and thought it was heart burn. I took it and it seemed to work so i stopped taking it. Since then the pain has gotten worse (it is normally i tight pressure pain or a sharp stabbing pain). I dont know if it is all in my head or I should go to the doctors and get checked out. After all I am only 19.
