Question
Hello doctor,
I am a 12th grader this year, sometimes I have mild chest pain on both sides but usually on the left side. The pain only lasts for 5-10 minutes and then goes away and repeats several times a day. Other than chest pain, there were no other symptoms due to shortness of breath or headache. Doctor let me ask if the chest pain warns of a dangerous disease? Thanks for the advice doctor.
