Chest pain: Severe chest pains in adolescence almost never represent heart attacks or strokes. Pains that you describe that continue for an hour should be evaluated by a physician. Pains that last for several very painful minutes, sudden onset, and then are gone with or without NSAIDs, are much more common in adolescents. Suggest resting in a comfortable position, possibly with a warm compress.

Otherwise make an appointment with your primary care physician for in person evaluation of chest pain in the next week or two
