slow down, it's ok.. best thing to do is to get checked out by your family doctor.. but most likely it is calcification (calcium deposits on your cartilage) or something else like that that is not life threatening. can you have high cholesterol at 15? yes, but it's not that likely.. especially if you aren't overweight.... from the look of things it's probably anxiety and stress related... just at a guess from how energetic you were with your post.
Again, go so your doctor to make sure.. but chances are it's nothing serious or life threatening.. so take a breath and relax

I would head over to your family doctor or the very least if you school has a staff nurse discuss the issue with her. Chest pains can be caused by a variety of reasons.
For instance I had an accident a number of years ago that pinched a nerve in my neck.sholder area on my left side. If I turn my head the right way or the weather is bad I get a pain on my left side of my chest.
But go see a doctor, if there is an issue with your cardio vascular system nows the time to deal with it.

You should consult with your family doctor.I would doubt that high cholesterol would be that kind of issue at 15 years old, but you never know. You might just have pockets of gas in the lining of your heart, I used to have that at your age. Good luck.
