Approach to chest pain: Clinical sciences

Chest pain is a common chief complaint, with a broad differential diagnosis that includes some potentially life-threatening causes. So your workup needs to focus on ruling out these not-to-miss diagnoses before considering more benign etiologies. Let’s take a look at this approach.

I'm a 14 year old guy. My pain is very weird. I have been experincing some sudden chest pains for a while when exercising but for the last 4 days its been completely different. I first felt it when i lied down to sleep and i felt like something was pressuring my heart (left side of my chest). When i woke up i felt a weird, pain towards the left side of my chest. Over the last few days the pain was changing a lot. Most of the times it was on the left side of my chest. Sometimes I felt pressuring, burning, stabbing, but most of the time discomfort. I have to hold my hand on the left side of my chest for a while to relax. Also while that i was very stressed and i even started crying, the pain felt worse when i did that. I was always overthinking shit. That pain was lasting for 2 days when i decided to go the doc. I did a blood test and ecg, the blood test turned out to be fantastic but at the ecg i was VERY  STRESSED OUT, it turned out to be like 107 bpm or smt i think? Im pretty sure its not normal but at the first ecg i had it was way more, i was way more stressed by that time. When i did the blood test the nurse missed my vein at the left hand, and at the right hand she didnt. I took a nap for like 5 hours and slept for well over 10 hours that day. When i woke up today after that i felt dizziness, numbness in my left arm and i felt like my pain became slightly worse. My anxiety was insane. As im writing this its currently 3:30am and i can't fall asleep due to the annoying pain. I don't know what to do and i think i should go to a more proffesional doctor and seek more help to make sure its nothing that bad...
