I am a 15 year old male that is obese, not terribly in the red, but bad enough, and I've been experiencing sharp pains on the left side of my chest. These pains come randomly, usually they get worse when I inhale. These pains usually ocurr after eating, sometimes, but not always. My mother and brother both experience these pains, but my dad does not. Is this something to worry about?
