Do I Have a Heart Problem? Posted: 10-26-07 14:10pm
I am 16 years old and for about half a
year I have been suffering from the
following symptoms:
palpitations
Pounding blood in the ear
Slight shortness of breath
Cold hands and feet
Fits of sweating and fever cured with a
glucose tablet
Fits of dizziness after a warm bath or
shower (nearly blacking out)
Occasonal chest pain
They have gradually been getting worse.
What could this be? Should I see a doctor?
Thanks.

It could be just anxiety, which as I
remember comes by the truckload in those
mid-teen years!
But just to rule out medical causes, yes,
you really should go see a doctor and get
his opinion. Without seeing a doctor, no
one can say for sure what those symptoms
mean. They could be something completely
normal and common for someone your age, or
it could be some underlying medical cause.

Have you visited a doctor yet? I've been
getting almost identical symptoms
(everything you describe, plus I'm always
exausted) for the past couple of years and
it's causing me to go crazy, I've just
turned 18, but I was 15/16 when this all
started. I've seen a handful of doctors
but they just can't say whats wrong, and
usually end up making some excuse...
