I have pain in the middle of my chest. I thought it was because of the AC but I noticed I feel it everytime I'm angry or sad, what could it be?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
This could be a manifestation of stress and anxiety, which can produce tension or pressure-like chest pain when the person is under emotional or psychological stress. The pain is usually transient, and may be associated with a fast heart rate, and sometimes feeling "out of breath". 
It remains a good idea to get checked by your doctor to undergo a full physical and make sure all your vital functions are OK, especially if you have a family history of heart disease. If no organic cause is identified, then you should seek counseling on how to minimize stress and how to better handle it without getting so much affected by it.
