What Is The Pain In My Heart When I Breathe Heavilty?

Hello my name is karina and I am 16 years old, I've been feeling this really sharp pain in my heart for like these past couple of months and sometimes when I try to breath heavily my right side hurts too. I don't know what's wrong but this has been happening.

Hi,
Welcome to Health Care Magic , thanks for posting your query .
I understand your concern.

Chest pain is something which should not be ignored. It could be due to various reasons, ranging from a simple untreated severe gastritis to something very serious as a heart problem itself.

The very first thing is get an ECG, ECHO and a Chest Xray done. This helps to rule out the causes for your pain. Consult a Physician and get his opinion about the test reports.
Once the cardiac causes of chest pain gets ruled out , he will be able to derieve at a more appropriate diagnosis based on your history and symptoms.
If you have the breathing issues more severe than the pain , it could be asthma. Its best to consult a physician at the earliest.
Meanwhile when the pain becomes unbearable take ibuprofen 200 mg twice a day after food to relieve you of the pain.

Hope this answers your query satisfactorily and my suggestions will prove helpfull.
Wishing you good health.
Take good care.
Regards.
