A member asked:
For the past few weeks i have been experiencing severe chest pains and back pains. what could be the possible cause of this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: A college-aged person with chest pain should see her doctor to be examined. Pains can come from a heart problem (serious!), neck and shoulder muscles, the ribs and their joints, the "pleural" lining of the lungs and ribs, the lungs themselves, etc... If she feels her pain is coming from the heart, has a chest tightness, some difficulty breathing, or has past heart disease, she should go to the ER.
