Appts take a lot of time so can someone name most or even all possible reason one would have sharp chest pains while breathing/inhaling ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Panic or Anxiety: For a 21 year old? It is stress, fatigue, or anxiety. That is unless you are an athlete and have injured a muscle with your exercise. We hold our breath tight, clench our chest muscles when we are stressed. Sometimes we are doing this without even realizing it. Many young people have this problem and it can take some time to learn new ways of breathing and living to reduce anxiety.
