    I didn't find a general health forum, so if there is one, please move the thread.

    Ever since I was 15(I'm 18 now) I've been having pains in my chest.
    It's located on heart level, but on the center and more forward.

    It appears at random times and lasts usually for a few seconds but sometimes can be even as long as a minute. Usually once per day.
    It's bearable when it's short, but if it's longer than 10 seconds, it becomes quite ridiculous. It's very sharp pain, not dull.

    When the pain appears, I can't take deep breaths, it just "stops" and simply won't inhale deeper. But when pain goes away it's fine again.

    I've been to doctors but they didn't find anything and accused me of lying to skip school.

    I wonder if anyone has any clue what it could be.

    I am going to doc once more, but not very soon because I am busy right now and this thing does not interfere with my tasks.

    You really are best seeing a doctor, no one on this board can give you medical advice :)

    Good luck

    I don't really need medical advice, was just wondering if anyone else has/had something similar?

    It sounds serious keep going to different doctors until you find one who takes you seriously and get an answer. Dont let it go. Im sure it could be a million things but even if someone did have some similar symptoms, it cant be suggested that its the same thing.

    Good luck and dont let it slide especially if its daily!

    Don't ignore chest pains - seek medical advice from a professional.
