Fatigue While Running, Chest Pressure, Popping In Rib Cage When Stretching

i d like to note i m a cross country runner.about a month ago i started to feel like i had no energy while running.i thougt that i was iron deficienct since a lot of female long distance runners become iron deficient.After awhile,after i started taking iron,i still felt really fatigued,to note that it wasnt the right type of fatigue,and feeling like i was about to past out every run.To add that i progressively got slower and started getting chest pressure while running.Now it s just difficult to run,with my chest hurting while running and being fatigued and ready to pass out.I m a 15 year old girl.recently i heard a pop on my upper left rib cage when i was stretching .i found that kind of weird.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
the pain in the chest associated with running and fatigue that you are having is likely to be due to an iron deficiency. A comprehensive investigations and physical examination is required to detect the exact cause. Cardiac causes also need to be ruled out.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
