Dr. Kyon Hood answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

See a doctor: There are many potential causes of chest pain, from musculoskeletal to respiratory to cardiac/heart, among others. Without a complete history & exam, it's impossible to determine the cause of your chest pain. You should contact your primary physician to determine what testing or treatment is needed after their assessment.
