Why Am I Having Pain In Chest?
I'm a 13 year old girl,i'm 5"4", i weigh 100lb's and i am having pain in my chest in the middle of my rib cage. Also i have never had any medical history as such. but it feels like someone punched me right in the middle of my upper rib cage/chest. Do you know what the problem may be?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
At your age of 13 years, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely.
So avoid movements causing pain.
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
