Art of chest pain: Diagnosing the true cause of chest pain is a difficult complex proposition in this arena. We need to take into account what medical problems you have and get more history and do an exam. Since you're only 18, the probability of heart disease is low. Do you have any history of lung disease? Is it triggered by stress or anxiety?
