Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Occasional chest pain and breathing difficulty in teenager are commonly seen with stress and anxiety.
But better to first rule out heart diseases.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both are these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Taken her to psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in her life and start working on its solution.
She may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
