Of course it could be possible for someone as young as you,...it's likely that someone gave you that idea to pull your leg. Then again, that pain IS something to check if it has happened more than once. If you felt that pain before, and it's in the same place, then it definitely something to be concerned about. Ask your parents, they know your medical condition best and they won't play jokes on you or tell scare stories like the people who think of themselves as good friends..

Pains in chest could be from a myriad of reasons including muscle strain from physical activity, hiatal hernia, spinal problems, or other reaasons...yes, including heart. Honey, do tell your parents or another adult that would be glad to help you have someone check you for the cause so you can enjoy being 15. Blessings and hugs to you! Let us know how you are...we care and are so glad you asked us! : )

Hi,

You should have a doctor check you out. Please know that our emotions and spiritual state are not seperate from our body so when you have problems in these areas it can affect you health. Typical reasons for problems in the chest area are as follows -
- Rigid discipline
- Insecurity
- Depression
- Excessive exercise
- Neglect of spirit
- Irresponsibility
- Parental or Spouse problems
- Possession by relatives
- Taking on too much responsibility
- Fear

To overcome these problems do things that are pure of spirit. Love, love, love. Love God. Love yourself. Love (and forgive) others - most importantly your parents, spouse, brothers and sisters etc. Enjoy life - be happy! Don't dwell on things, live in the present and don't think/worry to much.

Love Theresa

p.s. let me know what you think

Beyond Cholesterol
Inflammation is emerging as a major risk factor — and not just in heart disease
By ALICE PARK

Ask any heart doctor the best way to avoid a heart attack, and he will probably tell you to lower your cholesterol and exercise more. What he's not likely to tell you is that despite cholesterol's well-earned reputation as the heart's primary nemesis, half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels. That's because though scientists have identified some 250 other risk factors, from obesity to gum disease, they have never found a better indicator of the health of one's cardiovascular system than the levels of good and bad cholesterol in the blood.

Until now. In a groundbreaking study published in the New England Journal of Medicine last week, doctors from Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital showed that a simple blood test, called CRP, that measures the presence and intensity of inflammation in the walls of the blood vessels is as good as and in some cases better than cholesterol levels at predicting which patients are most likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke.

The study, led by Dr. Paul Ridker, director of the hospital's center for cardiovascular-disease prevention, is likely to be the talk of the annual meeting of the American Heart Association this week in Chicago. Not only does it provide the strongest evidence to date that inflammation plays a key role in heart disease, but it also supports the growing suspicion among medical researchers that inflammation is a major culprit behind a wide range of disorders, including cancer.

Inflammation is the body's basic emergency-response system. When anything threatens the body's health — from disease-causing germs to the buildup of fatty plaque in the walls of a heart vessel — the immune system sends in wave after wave of cells to swarm and destroy the invader. In the blood vessels, layers of these immune cells pile up, creating lesions that become increasingly unstable and may eventually rupture, triggering a heart attack. How sensitive this alarm system is depends on such things as diet, stress and one's genetic predisposition.
