What Causes Moderate Chest Pain With Difficulty In Breathing?
I have been having moderate chest pain or half an hour and it has been getting worse. I have a hard time breathing. It is not a heart attack, and I am 14 and not over weight. I do not believe this is an allergic reaction - what could be wrong with me?

Hi There
After going through your query i understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that chest pain with shortness of breathing can be because of underlying heart disease or anxiety disorder. Predominantly your symptoms are suggestive of anxiety disorder but as you are young so kindly get one ECG and echocardiography done to evaluate any congenital heart disease.
Hope to have been helpful.
Kind Regards
