Can asthema make your chest hurt?

Yep.  What happens, is that your muscles are straining to get breath in you lungs so much that it makes you sore.  Also, asthma is caused by inflammation in the lungs.

Most likely is gas, problems with the heart are pressure in the chest not pain, I would take him to a doctor as soon as possible just to make sure he's fine..☺

Sounds like you are experiencing the same thing I was.  I was feeling a sharp pain in my chest on the left side that would cause my body to clench up and make me short of breath.  I was worried, but I went to a doctor and it turned out to be a pulled muscle in the ribcage.  Every once in a while it would spasm and bother me.  They gave me some Motrin and it went away over time.  I think I provoked it when I started working out after a long period of laziness, but now that I'm back in shape it hasn't bothered me at all.\n\nGo to a doctor, though, to be sure.  They gave me an electrocardiogram just to make sure there were no serious issues.

It could be a number of things. I do know that the patients that were post op from that surgery that I had had a lot of pains in their chest and back. Please make sure he is bringing the pains to his oncologist attention! and that it hasn't spread through his body... I am sorry that he is sick and I wish you all the best

I am a massage therapist, I have had several people in with this type of pain.  It could be several muscle related issues.  Your intercostal muscles (the muscles between your ribs that help them go up and down wien you breath) may be in spasm, the medical term is costrocondritis. You have other breathing associated muscles called your serratus posterior that could be in spasm.  It may also be your lattisimus dorsi (latts) that are attached in the area you described.  Have you done any strenous lifting or wood cutting with an axe?  Your best bet is to take a deep breath (I know it hurts) and exhale while pulling your affected side arm over your head while bending to the opposite. So, if it is your right side take your right arm over your head and bend to the left and exhale.  This will stretch all the muscles I have mentioned and hopefully get them out of spasm.

I would go have that checked out by a doc. It could be something serious, or you could be developing asthma. I know I personally never had asthma until one day being around car exhaust caused me to have an asthma attack. They call it environmental asthma. Other things that can cause difficulty in breathing are muscle damage in the chest wall, or other serious problems in your lungs. It basically depends on how the pain is, and if it came on sharp and sudden. If it is sharp and sudden, go to a doc immediately. If it is a gradual onset, still go to a doc and see what they say. Good luck!

Yikes, quick ask a doctor!  Sorry, but tightness in the chest is a serious symptom so don't look for an amateur explanation.

In all likelyhood you pulled a muscle or bruised yourself in the struggle with old clothes. If your ribs or abs are sore, that is likely and you may just be experiencing limitation of movement to breath moreso than inability to breath. It would never be a bad idea to speak with your doctor if you continue to be short of breath.

Hi. I am a RN and and many things can contribute to swollen tender breasts...even a chest cold! Most people don't know that. Take a pregnancy test if that is a possibility. If negative then yes probably just hormones. I would lay down and put your hand on that side behind your head and feel your armpit region for swelling also. Sometimes your lymph nodes can get swollen. If they are then go to the doctor. Could be nothing, could be something. Too much caffeine can cause the lymph nodes to swell which in turn causes the breast to hurt. Start at step one and take it from there okay. Good Luck and feel better soon! Tender breasts hurt! Oh, Ibuprofen works great!

Don't try to diagnosis yourself.  Lay people don't do a good job of it at all.  Sarcoidosis is a very rare disease, and is not something generally considered when someone complains of chest pains.  The lungs are usually not the cause of chest pains.  Lung disease is manifested by shortness of breath, cough, sputum production, fever, primarily.  You may well just be a "worry wart", someone with an anxiety disorder, who is constantly scared of having a heart attack or other life threatening disease, so you magnify the normal feelings in your chest to the point that you interpret it as chest pains.\n\nGet your mind off your health.  Get out and walk for miles.  Get a hobby.  Strike up new friendships.  Read the Bible and pray to God.  GET a LIFE!!!

Since you're 16, I would wager a guess these are "growing pains"  if your height is increasing rapidly, however, there is a rare possibility that the muscles in your chest could tear, and you could develop problems breathing, due to something called a pneumothorax.  If the pain becomes severe, or you're having trouble breathing, go to the hospital immediately.

could be something with your lungs, your pecs, or it could be heartburn, or your heart.  if you don't trust your doctor get a second opinion

Oh my god!  Go to the ER!!  Ahh, not really though I am sure someone is going to answer that.  They always do.  \n\nFirst off I agree that this is extremely unlikely to be cardiac related.  I am comforted by the fact that you can replicate the discomfort by movement.  The most likely thing that you did was either a muscle strain or possibly even a sprain where the ligaments stabilize the cartilage and bone joint at about your central chest (roughly at the nipple line vertically).  If its a sprain you should be able to isolate the spot right there.  If its a strain its more likely to be generalized.  Either way  the treatment is the same.  Rest, Ice, anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen.  After a day if you are still having the discomfort you can add a warm water soak and gentle stretching to the plan.  It should resolve on its own within the week.\n\n(Oh, and I really buy the getting ready for bed story wink wink)\n\nGood luck.. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Absolutely.  Chest pains are nothing to fool with.  Go to the emergency room, better safe than sorry.  If it turns out to be serious, see an atty who specializes in medical malpractice.  Your doctor should never make jokes about anything you ask her about.
