Chest Pain?


Okay, I am 17, 5'3" and 107 pounds.
I keep getting chest pain and I was wondering what reason could there be for this? I have no family history of any chest disfunctions, as I would call it.
I know it can't be heart burn, since it isn't after I eat, although it hurts by where my heart is.
Could this be because I hardly eat?
The nurses said I might have scurvy & I was wondering if this could be linked, or maybe me possibly having gingivitis could be related.
Just please tell me any advice, tips, or knowledge that you may posess or find.
Please =]

Another possibility for this chest pain is a condition called costochondritis which is an inflammation of the cartilage around the ribcage. It can cause symptoms that can make one think it's a problem with the lungs or heart (just giving an example). I would recommend consulting your primary care physician as well to see what they think could be going on.
