A member asked:
I'm 22 and have been having upper back and chest pain for the last 3 days. sometimes dull, others stabbing. what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not serious: There are many causes of chest and back pain including muscular and bone as well as abnormalities of the heart, lungs or esophagus. Although in a 22 yo, most chest pain turns out not to be anything serious, you should see your primary physician to be sure.
