How old are you? Could you not go to the doctors yourself? Chest pains are a serious thing , it cold be nothing but it could be something at the same time so you really do have to go. Most health care centers will see you without a parent quite happily.

i would personally do the following - if you have books/reputable info - look into it- try and diagnose what it is, causes etc - for example, has there been a sudden change in your diet, lifestyle - perhaps there may be something blindingly obvious (well unobvious at the moment) that you just haven't thought about....that may be a possible reason for it all (this could reassure you a bit perhaps), But even so, definitely go to the doctors - better to be on the safe side.

For reassurance purposes, i myself would look into it but would go to doctors - sorry i can't help, im not a doctor! :smile:

Take care

www.nhsdirect.com allows you to do a self diagnosis....isn't there a bus you could get? or take your bike? ask a friend? get a cab? call the doctors surgey and explain your predicament

Definately try and see the doctor, It could be a little problem, but you still need to get it checked out.

Only other thing I could suggest is a couple months back I had really bad chest/Rib pain and headaches, and it turned Out I just was dehydrated and not getting enough water each day.. Might not help but ah well.
