I'm a 15 year old female and for the past 6 months or so i've been experiencing intense chest pains. When i talked to my grandma about taking me to the doctors she said not to worry about it, that it was just heartburn. And i've had heartburn before and this was different. But i took the heartburn medication and waited but it didn't work. And it normally does. So that ruled out heartburn. I wish to know what it actually is so i can tell my grandma and go to my doctor.
The pain feels like someone stabbed a knife through my Breast plate and is trying to pull it apart. I have swelling around a couple of my ribs on my right side. Sometimes the pain spreads out to my ribs and around to my back and hangs around for several days. Someone help me.

Hello, it must be frustrating when your grandma does not understand you or does not take you seriously. I dont know what might be causing such discomfort but one thing is for sure, you should go to a doctor. Pain is our bodies way telling us that something is wrong, especially if the pain is persistent and makes us react. Try explaining to your grandma that the medicine for heartburn did not help you at all, that it only made you feel worse. See what she says and explain to her again where do you feel pain and show her the swellings.
