My heart hurts when I breathe in?
Benign chest wall pain is most likely a transient and fleeting irritation of the pleura, the slippery membrane that lines and protects the lungs. The pleura are very sensitive to pain, and for reasons that are usually not clear, some momentary irritation causes a painful sensation that can be quite severe, but that quickly subsides. This condition has no medical significance whatsoever. It is very common. Most people will experience these symptoms at some point in their lives. The pain is usually a sharp "catch" that interrupts a breath, and that returns with each breath for a few moments - then it subsides. It is not related to exercise, and generally can be localized to a specific small area (smaller than the palm of the hand) on the chest wall. It usually lasts for less than a minute, but can come back on and off for an hour or so. This condition can be evaluated by taking a careful history. The condition is very common, and very easy to diagnose by history - as long as the doctor is aware of it and understands it. The important thing to keep in mind is that this condition is completely benign, and is not related to any medial problem or any abnormality. You don't any heart condition and you can ignore the pain. Nevertheless, no harm in getting checked once. Cheers.
I'm 14 my heart hurts when I breathe?
Lately I get random attacks of sharp pain to one side of my chest when taking a breath. The pain seems to stab me right as I get to the bottom of the breath so much that I can't take a full breath until the attack finishes, which is usually after a minute or two. Does anyone else experience this?. Also what will happen if I do go to the doctors?, what will they do p.s - i smoked weed a day before. -_____-. and no don't say it's because of that, jeez, i've been getting these attacks at least 9 times a year. But it just came back all of a sudden
My heart hurts when i breathe in deeply, WHAT IS IT?
I'm only 13-14 ish but when i breathe in deeply( like holding my breath deeply) or blow out all of my air, my heart hurts. I just had a physical, but when the doctor used the stethescope she said i had such a strong heart, and it didn't hurt that day. Please, what the heck is wrong with my heart!? i thought it would get better but i was just sleeping and i woke up and it was hurting when i moved a certain way too, and i can't go back to bed!!!
Why does my heart hurt when I breathe?
don't panic. it's not your heart. this happened to me when i was 20-something. a doctor pointed out to me that taking a deep breath was not a pain that was associated with the heart. i was going through similar stress, and he told me that under stress, the cartilage in the rib cage can become inflamed, particularly in the sternum, right over the heart. that was the pain i was feeling. you don't need meds. if any are given, they should be only an anti-inflamitory drug. but you don't really need that, either. take in twice as much water as you have been, and calm down. that should do the trick.
Why does my heart hurt when I take a deep breath?
The pain that is felt with deep breaths could be caused by inflammation or irritation in the lining of your lung or the heart. The reason it is worse with deep breaths is that the irritation may get worse as the lungs expan with your breath and then increases the contact and irritation. It is called Pleurisy when the lining of the lung or pleura is involved or pericarditis when the lining of the heart or the pericardium is involved.If either are the case, itis then important to determine the underlying cause for either one. You should go see your Physician so they can start an evaluation on you to determine the cause of your symptoms and to look for the underlying cause for your issues!

My heart hurts and I can't breathe properly when I think about stressful stuff (i.e. failed friendships). Is this normal? Should I go see a doctor or something?
I experience the same thing. I am overweight and currently smoke (in the process of losing weight and to stop tobacco).My moms friend (who was a nurse for years) said I could be experiencing panic and or anxiety attacks. I had a major panic attack and I could not breathe and my heart rate went through the roof. I could feel every beat of my heart and it was hurting like hell.Everytime I start thinking about the future, the past, my mistakes, stress etc I get this heavy feeling in my chest. So my guess would be anxiety related issues.Though I am not a professional it would be best to see a doctor or someone with adequate experience in this area.
The left side of my chest hurts when I breathe?
From the way in which you have described your condition it is apparent that you have been having pain in the left side of your chest since quite some time, and that since the last couple of days it has intensified in frequency and pain. Now if this has been going on since more than a week and at one particular area or location -- not confined to one point-- it is a matter of concern. At the same time you say that your heartbeat rate goes really fast. This is also not a good sign. arrhythmia (or irregular heartbeats) or fast heartbeats with pain is an abnormal sign. Though not always. Now I do not mean to scare you, but I have to give the answer to your question. There can be numerous reasons for this condition. Your best option is to go to the Emergency room. The doctors there will do some tests including a heart scan and try to find out the cause. If there is nothing serious, and I hope and pray for you that there is nothing serious, and it is just pain due to gas, or any other condition not serious, you would have had the satisfaction of having the tests done and anything serious ruled out. In the meantime, if you are smoking it is just a NO NO !! If you are taking pop or coffee or anything like tea or chocolates you have to stop that at least until you have gone through your tests. No you do NOT have to be scared. Like I said there should be nothing serious but it is always better to get yourself checked. And you will be happy. Best wishes.
I'm 15 years old and my heart hurts to the point it hurts to breathe?
I'm 15 and my chest hurts in a way where my heart hurts. It's been going on for over a year. It feels like heart will explode and I can't take deep breathes. Sometimes it's not that bad but other times it's really bad. I told my doctor a year ago but he wasn't concerned but it's got worse. The weird thing is it mainly happens when it's that time of the month. I don't know what's wrong!?
