Hi. I recently had an EKG and an echocardiogram. I have been having chest pain that comes and goes. Sometimes its on the right side....sometimes its on the left. I drink a lot of soda. Im 23. My doctor said he doesnt think its heart related. I am on coumadin for a DVT I had when I was 17, and my INR is fine. Wht do you think it could be?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, your doctor is right. Your chest pain is not from heart diseases. In teenagers, undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of chest pain. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Application of warm water pad on affected areas of chest is also beneficial. You can also take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
