Hi, i have a 14 year old daughter who says her ribs on both sides just became really painful when she walks and finds it hard to breathe sometimes.

Have her seen: It could be strained ribs and something called costochondritis. Could be a respiratory infection. Could be stress. She is best helped by being seen.
