A member asked:

I've been having chest pains. the pain is centered and just below my collar bone. the pain occurs whenever i sneeze/cough or get in certain positions.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See physician: At your age you may have injured your neck or shoulder. A herniated disc in the lower cervical spine can cause chest pain. Especially with cough/sneeze. You would also want to get your shoulder evaluated. See your physician for full workup.
