Hi Im Pamela. 13 years old from the PhilippinesI started having chest pains when I breath since last year and they are getting worse. This time, it seems like Im having them everyday. The pain is in the middle and a bit to my left. But sometimes they slightly go lower.I need to hyperventilate or not breath to avoid the horrible sharp pain.Please help me. I cant go to a real doctor because my mom said that the pain is no big deal and the money will just be wasted.I started doing yoga just last week so I can have body movements (because my mom said the pain will disappear after) but the pain still havent went away.Pls help me. I think I wanna die peacefully than live with this horrible horrible pain :(
