In this condition, the pain is described as a brief (30 seconds), sharp, discomfort beneath the left nipple occurring at rest or with mild activity. Inspiration causes the child to hesitate momentarily as if something is "catching" around the heart. The teen then breathes shallowly for a few minutes, afraid to take a deep breath until the pain leaves. >Classrooms and libraries are popular places for this pain to strike since it may be caused by poor posture. The condition is not serious and disappears in time, as mysteriously as it came.
>The "Precordial Catch" syndrome really scares teens because they definitely believe they are having a heart attack. You should be informed that cardiovascular disease in this age group is an extremely rare, even unheard of, cause of chest pain. Furthermore, pain originating from the heart is almost always located in the center of the chest, and is described as crushing in nature frequently radiating down an arm. Learning that you are not having a heart attack goes a long way in relieving anxiety!
Oh shit that sounds exactly like it. Thank you! Although I'm not a teen, I'm 22. And it does seem to happen as a result of bad posture when sitting or lying down. I've also noticed it seems to focus on my left side of my chest, although not a specific spot.
It probably matters that I should point out that my chest muscles are always, always sore as a result of...well...having huge tits. But I still don't think it's directly related. I think they cause bad posture though.
