What Causes Pain In Centre Of Chest?
Im seventeen. For the past two days ive been having an ongoing, dull uncomfortable pain near the center of my chest, a little more to the left though. Its constant, & hurts . The pain also goes occasionally to my shoulder & neck, & some
times to my jaw, but all only on the left side of my body . I had a bad scare earlier where the pain increased severely abn i could hardly catch my breath. It lasted about two minutes and than went back to moderate pain. What do you think it could be?

Substernal pain radiating to sides of the midline can occur with esophageal reflux.
At your age anginal pain is unlikely though not impossible.Mitral valve prolapse can also cause non-specific retrosternal pain.Get ECG done and if indicated 2-D echocardiopraphy .
