Suggest Treatment For Severe Chest Pain And Shortness Of Breath

hi, I'm 15 years old about 5'3 and 100 pounds, I'm not a person that has had any medical history. i am a dancer, I dance about 4 days a week 3-4 hours daily, and I've been expirencing severe chest pain, along with shortness of breath, the chest pain is usually a tightness or a feeling of someone stabbing me in the chest, and the breathing is a feeling of not getting enough air, I have went to a doctor about this issue, and not one has come to a conclusion about what it could be, possibly anxiety, but this has gotten to the point to where I feel like I can pass out, an not do anything sometimes, this has been going on for two years now, and it recently has started to worsen.

hello,
I need to know more about the symptoms, like precipitating factors, factors that increases pain etc.
Mostly it's a gastritis and reflux disease. Do you upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning, if yes it further supports the diagnosis. You should avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.
You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg beforebreakfast once a day for 2 weeks.
Secondly does this pain increases on applying pressure over the area, if it could be costochondritis and it's a musculoskeletal type of pain and needs prolonged nsaid therapy.
Does this pain increases on deep breathing and coughing etc. if yes it a pain arising from lining of lungs and needs nsaids treatment and evaluation.
I find this answer helpful
