Hi, I was just worried, I m 16 and just recently I feel my tight and heavy and mild pain in my chest , it hurts a little more when I lie on my back and a lot worse when I swallow food but not when I drink, it only hurts when I seem to expand my chest. Do you think you can tell me the problem? Should I see a doctor?
