A member asked:

On/off quick pains in left chest today, got worse when i went walking. also can feel pain sometimes when breathing in. does this have to be serious? ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

get checked: It does not have to be serious, but it needs to get checked out. A 19 yo woman is unlikely to have coronary disease... But crazy things can happen. It may be chest wall /rib /cartilage inflammation, such that it hurts when you move your thorax (i.e. Breath hard). This is usually a benign, albeit annoying condition.
