I am 17 years old and about 3 days ago my chest started hurting. I feel like its my lungs but i can also feel pain on my upper back. The pain usually only comes if i take a really deep breath or if I have slight exercise such as walking up stairs. I have not done anything very strenuous lately either, a soccer game saturday and nothing else.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, 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. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. You will mostly improve with all these in 2-3 days. If not improving after 3 days, then consult your doctor. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
