I'm 16 year old girl about to be 17 next month. I get chest pains almost every twice a month, and i had this problem 3 or 4 years. I think i know what it is, maybe Costochondritis? When it occurs its usually on the left side, i can't inhale or exhale at all or move because it causes a sharp pain.This happens around my ribs up to my chest. This lasts about 3 minutes, sometimes just for a 1 minute. I don't know what to think, if its a serious problem. Help please? What can cause this?
In the past I was bulimic, not sure if this is whats causing it. I haven't seen the doctors yet...
