Suggest Remedy For Stabbing Pains Under The Breastbone And Pressure On Chest

16 year old female with stabbing pains under the breastbone and pressure on the rest of the chest. No real medical problems/history. 2 chest xrays, 2 EKG's, tons of blood work done. Dr's thought it may be a torn muscle in the chest. Given motrin and told to rest, no physical activity/exertion. Been a month since the torn muscle diagnosis and STILL having chest pain. Pain is constant, never goes away.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for heart diseases as your extensive cardiac work up is normal.
You are also taking painkiller and taking rest but still not improving, so musculoskeletal pain is also unlikely.
Sometimes, uncontrolled stress and anxiety can also also cause similar kind of chest pain and pressure.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution for your question.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
