Out of the blue I feel like I have been punched in the chest.

Hi guys I'm new at this so cut me some slack please,
I am 16 years old, I swim regularly and have had no past chest or heart problems. Just then I was washing the dishes as I normally do every night and I suddenly felt as if I was winded. I had a sharp pain in the left side of my chest and was struggling to breath. I have asked my parents about this but they always say it is nothing and it will pass. So far it has happened 3 times this year. I don't know what it is so could I please have some advice?

P.s I had a pretty emotional day today but I don't know if that is apart of the issue or not.

Thanks
Baie.

Hi

Welcome to the forum.

Sorry to hear you have been having these symptoms but we are not doctors so can't give advice but I would also recommend that you make an appointment to see your doctor and let them know all your symptoms and see what they suggest.

Anxiety can cause all sorts of symptoms both physical and mental and if it is anxiety related there is lots that can be done to help.

Hibee

Thanks guys :)
