I'm a 22 yr old female, for the past 4 days i've been having the worse pains on my chest (left side). It's do bad that i did not go to work for 2 days, everytime i breathe i feel a stabbing pain on my chest. I have not been able to sleep on my side or on my stomach, i can only sleep sitting up. It is becoming very uncomfortable for me. I went to the doctor but he didn't find anything wrong with me.

Please Help

There are numerous causes of chest pain and include the following conditions:

Angina
Heart Attack
Mitral Valve Prolapse
Aortic Stenosis
Aortic Insufficiency
Pericarditis
Aortic Dissection
Pleurisy
Pneumothorax
Pneumomediastinum
Pulmonary Hypertension
Pulmonary Embolism
Pneumonia
Esophagitis
Esophageal Spasm
Hiatal Hernia
Duodenal Ulcer
Pancreatitis
Gallbladder Disease
Musculoskeletal (Tietze's Syndrome)
Anxiety/Panick Attacks

All chest pains needs to be taken seriously, however, frequently the cause of the pain is not the heart. Sometimes it is important to notify your health care provider of ongoing symptoms or symptoms that have not abated over a certain period of time. This may lead him/her to further diagnostic clues. I would recommend you call your doctor back and give a staus update regarding your pains.
