Help, I Have Heart Pains

I’ve been having heart pains lately. I'm startin’ to get worried. I don’t eat well or exercise. Is that why? Should I go to the doctor? Please Help!
Sounds like your health choices are catchin’ up to ya, girlie. It’s hard to know exactly what’s goin’ on without more information about the pains you’re havin’. But you should probably go see the doc’ who will listen to your heart and lungs.

It’s rare that chest pain is serious in teenagers, so don’t worry. But you should start eating better food and getting at least some kind of exercise daily—even if it’s walking. You can also find fun ways of getting exercise with your friends, like biking, playing a team sport, throwing around a basketball or leaf-jumping—always a fun fall activity!
