How Can Recurrent Chest Pain Be Treated?
Um. So ive had this chest pain since 10th grade. My doctor says it is stress but i dont know if it is. It is off and on again but its like a 50/50 on if im stressed or not. It also makes it weird to breathe its on the left side of my chest in the middle. All i ever hear is you vitals are fine your breathing is fine your heart is fine. Is there anything it could be?
