hi i dont know if this is posted in the
right place because im not sure what it
is
im a 17 year old girl and recently iv been
experiencing chest pains,
the pain moves around abit
often its in the centre of my chest it
kind of feels achy, its not rly painful
just annoying
other times its sort of just below my
right collarbone and feels more like a
chest pain you would get with a cough,
occassionally iv had heart palpatations
and shortness of breath which feels like i
cant quite fill my lungs properly
one thing starts and i panic and it makes
the whole thing a great deal worst
iv got quite a stressful lifestyle, if its
anxiety is there nothing i can do?
its usually ok when i first wake up, and
it doesnt wake me in the night
often its at college
im usually ok doing physical activity
im not sure how much is genuine and how
much i imagine im feeling simply because
iv read the symptoms of something on the
internet
im absolutely terrified to go to the
doctors in case its serious or i have to
have a blood test (absolutely awful phobia
of needles and veins)
if anyione could shed any light on this i
would be extrememly greatful

I recently had terrible worry and stress.
I went to the emergency room wirh chest
pains but it was an anxiety attack. Its
taken a combination of stopping all
alcohol and all drugs, resting and
relaxing more, counseling for how to treat
others who were using me, and
accupuncture. Your system might be
totally stressed out and its retaliating
by chest pain. There is not simple cure.
Look at acupuncture websitse and read
about stress/anxiety. Hpoe this helps. I
had to learn it all aloe over a year. No
doctor ever gave a full explanation.
