A member asked:
Occasionally when lying flat on my back whenever i breathe in i get this sharp pain in my ribcage and my heart pounds harder/speeds up. possibilities?

Heart pounding: Since you are 16 y female, chances are that it is not serious. It could be as a result of an old injury to the ribcage. I suggest that you see your dr about it.
