Dull Ache In Chest And Indigestion Posted: 11-06-07 12:22pm
Hi,
I am a 19 year old college student, and I
have myself all worked up. I have been
experiencing very bad indigestion lately,
as well as dull aches in my chest and back
and some lightheaded spells when I lay
down. It's really starting to scare me and
take a toll on my mental health, as I am
scared that I will just all of a sudden
have a heart attack. I do smoke, but not a
lot, and I am overweight, and I know that
those are risk factors. I have never had
any health problems, my cholesterol levels
are good, and my blood pressure is fair.
Should I be very concerned? I do have some
anxiety issues, so I'm not sure if what I
am experiencing is just part of my
problem. Please help, I'm extremely nerved
up about this whole thing.

I Have Been Studying Heart Problems And
Anxiety issues for a year and a half!!
Heart Pain Stays in the same place doesnt
hurt when you touch it or move or breath!
At your age i would think it was very
unlikely that you had a heart problem
though i have anxiety jaw chest and arm
pains and dizziness and im sixteen !
If you keep convincing yourself its your
heart you will become worse and will grow
more syphtoms "" Just calm down ! and
have a check up at the doctors and see a
physiciartrist !!
Smoking will make your anxietys worse like
mine did i gave it up genuinely believe
if it scared you that much you wouldnt
smoke !
