Answer: rest.
First, question you stipulation to consider is whether you have had long-gone esophageal acid reflux. GERD. Sometimes, even in the teen years you can suffer a muscle strain within your chest area. Maybe, you have be working or playing at activities that would be out of the ordinary for you. Lifting several boxes. Some type of line house cleaning project. I always try ask friends "what have you done to be precise unusual activity for you." Try to think pay for to Friday morning forward. I am sure it is not a cardiac issue or your symptoms would becoming progessively worse to the point that you would not be able to write an email note to the common population. If you started playing tennis recently, I would be suspicious of a muscle strain from the tennis practice. I know females who have severe upper quadrant distress from a muscle strain. Maybe softball? Just inventory your activites and I am sure you will find source for a muscle strain in a torso muscle. Sometimes, pain "refers" to the chest and frightens us to anxiety a heart problem. I think your mom could provide something like Advil an over the counter anti-inflammatory medication. With a bite to drink. Good luck. Hope you feel better. If still concerned I would see my doctor on Monday. Could be a number of things, so ask yourself these question...
Is my bra or pants too tight?
Have I been intake while lying on my stomach? Causes acid.
Have been taking within lots of carbonated drinks? " " Gas
Gassy food, i.e. cauliflower, beans, etc? " "
You may be having mild anxiety attacks, do you worry?
If it is your heart you can other take some insurance,
by swallowing a baby aspirin after breakfast respectively morning.
81 mg will do the trick. And drink lots of water.
Are you a nervous type, is near an event coming up that
worries you?
If None of these things apply go to your doctor and run
it down to him. Calm yourself, the odds of it one
serious are extremely slim. You'll be in our prayers..
Do you wear underwire bras? This could be pushing into your skin and pinching a nerve or something to grounds pain. Also, you could have a rib inappropriate that would cause pain when you breathe heavily; you might consider seeing a chiropractor after the doctor rules out anything really serious. yes your mom might be right.but it could be other problems too.i have chest pains too yesterday, but i think this was due to my too tight around the waist jeans!!but u better hold it checked out, cheerios~.

I hope that adjectives you have is gas.. it can travel through your chest (all over your body actually). And it can hurt. Take care of yourself. oh! i've have this a lot of times! you just obligation to rest. it happens if you have run a lot. =D.
Tell you what, chew an aspirin now. Chewing it routine it get into your system more quickly than swallowing it, it will chew awful so take something you like. Aspirin does amazing things to serve with everything from a cold to chest pain.
Even though you're a 13 year old-fashioned girl, no one fools with chest throbbing no matter what anyone says beside all due respect to you Mother. Young people seldom own heart problems and young females even less but never, never tisk-tisk away chest torment as all us humans are subject to heart problems from new borns to senior citizens. Yes, you could enjoy acid reflex but remember, never fool with chest anguish. Even if the pain lessons over hours of darkness, still go to an ER tomorrow morning and if the pain get worse, consider going any 'ole time includiing the middle of the night. With your symptoms please consider going to an ER rather than your doctor as the ER have all the equipment to check you out. Be prepared and don't be scared when you arrive at the ER because they'll probably pocket you into a room surrounded by curtains, (all the following will be "probably"), put an plastic oxygen tube in your nose (not passageway into your nose!), just ample to get some 02, take a chest X-ray, and put an EKG cuff on your arm and check out of it there so the doctors and nurses will have a constant look-see at your blood pressure and heart rate, it won't hurt. You'll probably own to wait for different medical folks to talk next to you and your Mom. Tell them everything, be specific. You know best what's been going on. The ER staff will be friendly and relaxed and it's OK that you're the nervous one; you hold a right to be nervous. Tell your Mom you really want to go to the ER; if the stomach-ache worsens go then. Believe me, the ER general public will tell you they would much rather see you sooner and everything checks out OK than subsequently and you're in trouble. Good luck!
