Apart from an injury chest pain can be caused by many reasons, strained muscles, gas, heart burn, or heart attack and stroke.And yes you can have heart problems at any age including 17.So don`t leave it any longer go get a check up as it could be the warning sign of a heart attack and if left could kill you and if it is only gas then the doctor will be able to help you,
With chest pain be alarmed until you know the cause

I agree that you need to call your doctor and be seen by him/her. You don't want to mess arond with chest pain.
Does the pain stay in one place, or does it move around? If it moves, I would say it's gas which can really hurt sometimes. Stress can agrivate your stomach and cause gas.
If it's stationary, then it could be a lot of things that no one but a professional could diagnose. Regardless, get checked. No sense in living with pain if you don't have to. Feel better!

My first benign answer would be gas, which has worked its way up under the ribs.
My second benign answer would be stress and tension. You're getting ready to graduate high school, and there are tremendous pressures on you at this time.
My final answer, less benign, is, see your doctor. You could have something serious wrong and so far you've had only warning signs. Go before it's too late.

It could be stress. And kids as young as you- or younger even- have died from heart attacks. Tell your parents, and tell the doctor!
Don't forget to mention any medicines you might already be on.
Good luck.

How is it that you can not remember to mention that a HEAT ATTACK can strike at ANY age.. you need to see a doctor , it could just be heart burn but better safe than sorry....

If you have had a chest infection recently, like bronchitis, it could be pleurisy. I could not really say though, you are better to ask your GP.

You are probably having panic attacks. You should try to meditate and do yoga. Take time to take care of yourself! :)
