Chest pain: Most chest pain in teenagers is cause by chest wall muscles or bones and is harmless. You can confirm that by pressing the area with your hand and if the pain is cause by pressing you have confirm it. However, rarely the pains can be caused by rare lung or heart diseases, so if the pain is not reproduced by pressing on the chest wall, you should see your doc and get evaluated.
