[|Human|] I am a 23 year old male. I woke up a few hours with a strong pain in my upper chest. it was much worse a few hours ago and I could barely move and it hurt to breath although my breathing is not restricted. It has gotten much better in the past few hours but deep breaths still hurt and it doesnt feel right...
[|AI|]  Thanks for asking your question completely understand your question upper chest pain a be due to a variety of reasons but in young age causes are not that serious diseases causing chest pain in young age can be muscular, peptic ulcer, gastritis, or rarely in young age can be a cardiac cause. You need to consult a pulmonologist who can request for a chest X-ray and an ECG, and evaluate the cause of chest pain for now you can take a proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole once daily if your physician prescribes no need to panicthanksfeel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
