What Does Pain In Upper Back & Chest With Stomach Discomfort Suggest?

I've been having pain in my upper back and in my chest. Everyone says its related to stress and anxiety but when I get stressed I have abnormal stomach pains. I'm only fifteen and I'm hoping this isn't a sign of an early heart attack. Could anyone tell me what this is or am I just worrying about something that could just go away?

Hi thanks for contacting HCM...

If you are taking excess stress then by Panic attack yes chest pain can occur...
So stress should first be avoided.
If needed consult psychiatrist for counselling.
Anxiolytic drug might needed....

Second apart from anxiety respiratory cause also has to be ruled out....
For that proper respiratory examination done...
And if needed x ray or spirometry can be helpful....
According to cause treatment done..

If no cause found Then it could be simple musculoskeletal pain..
For which rest needed.
Analgesic useful ...
Avoid strenous activity....

Keeping these in mind consult pulmonologist.....

Take care....
