I would most defenately get a second opinion and maybe even a third... it could b anything ie gas, strained muscle, etc.. i wish you luck.

second opinions are always a good idea if you think the doctor may have missed something. but everybody gets inexplainable aches and pains sometimes. my left hip hurts when i walk, enough to make me limp, and its been that way for 2 years, but theres nothing wrong with it. our bodies our just weird i guess.
btw, michael said appendicitis is on the left, its not. the appendix is on the right side. every person in my entire family has gotten it removed.

I'm not qualified to answer as a physician but - check things like tight clothing, the state of your mattress, your sitting position at the computer (try using a cushion) etc. Do get a second opinion. Best wishes.

There is many reasons it could be, sometimes it can mean you slept wrong, is your bed to firm? Also it is possible that your body isn't used to the chance in weather yet, it sometimes may feel like it is in your chest but it is actually in your thyroid and neck. If the doctor doesn't know what it is maybe you should see your female doctor or your mothers if it continues. :)

I have chest pains too I went to the doctor and they told me, Chest Pains come from gas and grease.... eating to many greasy foods
*cut down on greasy foods and they will go away for sure!

It could be heartburn. Maybe try zantac75 or something similar and alter your diet for awhile..see if that helps. I definitely suggest getting a second doctor's opinion though.

Anything that has to do with your chest or your brain you should always get checked out totally!! I would get a second opinion just to be sure

what you describe is obviously not normal for someone
as young as you, maybe see another doctor and ask if
he thinks it is arhritis, theres blood work for that,
or mabe have a heart scan done.

What about your breathing. Do you have a difficult time breathing. See a lung doctor. Pulmonologist?
Asthma, heart burn?

My cousin had that problem and he had to have his Colon removed. Dont panic at all... but it may be something to look into.
