    Chest pain?
    I'm 17 and sometimes I get a slight straining feeling around my heart. First couple of times I thought it was because my bra was too tight but it happens when I'm not wearing a bra either. I do quite a lot of exercise but my diet isn't too good. The pain happens a few times a week maybe. Should I go and get it checked out?

    Chest pain is always worth getting checked, especially if it happens regularly.

    Just go to your GP. They might do an ECG just to be safe but it should be fine, especially if its not with breathlesness or any other symptoms too

    I would go to your GP to get professional advice on it, they may listen to your heart and go an ECG which will monitor the heart rhythm, none of this is at all scary, but its worth going if the pain is worrying you.
    It could be that the muscles around your chest are strained due to the exercise you do.

    It seems that you are dying, please goto your local hospital asap.

    It doesn't sound like something you should be too worried about, it's probably just indigestion. Does gaviscon help?

    I'd make an appointment with your GP though chest pain is always worth getting checked out.
