Not like old folks: If you have progeria, the advanced aging syndrome, you might have a heart attack as a teen. You don't, so look to what causes chest pain for teens. Most have heartburn, which is a common term for the pain that happens at your stomach entrance from irritation. Caffeine, carbonated beverages, acidic drinks, spicy foods & occasionally viral infections can trigger this. Take some Tums & talk with doc
