Im 15, Please Help Me, Im Really Scared. Posted: 11-18-04 15:57pm
Okay this all started 3 months ago, I
drank allot of caffeine and sunflower
seeds, my heart was speeding crazy, I had
to actually convince my step father I
wasn't joking to get to the hospital at 10
pm, but I calmed down once I was in the
client room waiting for the doctor, I felt
safe and I was much ,much better. They
did a ekg on me or w/e they call it, and
it was normal. Since then ive been
getting these feelings in my chest,i went
to my doctor she said at first a stomach
alcer? Then it could be anxiety. Still
I have no answer at all on what this is,
it scares me allot, I cant stop thinking
about it. I take medicine for school
called aderal and usually im totally fine
at school, but my chest has been feeling
weird the past 2 days which isnt normal,
and its still doing it. I can describe
it as a weird heart beat, pressure on my
right chest area where my heart is
located. Im 172 5'10 1/2 , I play
football and I have ran allot this season,
to me I feel im in shape. I wish I could
go on about this but it would take
forever. When I sleep im totally fine, I
dont wake up cause of this. Im just
really confused and worried about this,
and it bothers me allot, not just thinking
about it constantly, but worrying if its
something serious im going to die from, or
have to get surgery on my heart, and its
bothering with this feeling, its not pain
just a pressure like feeling near my
heart, I called my step father and told
him I need an appointment, and next week
im going to get one probaly. Am I safe?
Whats going on????

Sounds to me like your having an anxiety
attack. Always thinking and worrying
about things makes it worse. Im not
saying to not go see the doc, you need to,
but one sign of an anxiety attack is heart
flutters. It feels like your heart is
having a muscle spasm. From what I know
its not dangerous but should be talked
about to a doc if this is what your
experiencing.

You should do some research on adderall.
Its a mix of 4 amphetamine salts. If you
know what amphetamine is you know what it
does to your heart. Ask your doctor about
it.

Btw, mixing caffeine and aphetamines like
adderall is a no-no. Too much for your
heart. Especially when combined with
sports - exercise.
I've taken adderall in the past and felt
similar sensations - especially near the
end of the day when the fatigue would set
it after the med wore off. How much is
your daily dose?

20 mg a day, I only take it for school,
non school days I stay off it.
Ive actualy been eating chocolate, I know
that has caffene, but should I stay away
from that as I do soda?

20mg should be ok for your weight. My
little brother takes 30mg xr everyday and
he's about 110 pounds. Did you just
recently start eating chocolate ? Can you
correlate that with the current pain?

Your Not Going to Die Posted: 07-21-05 10:29am
You are suffering with what I suffer
with... Anxiety.. Its very common but
doesnt make it any easier to deal with. I
lay awake convinced im going to die,
because my mum and dad both have heart
disease so I think ill have it and die,
but thats not the case as I have had every
single test you could give me and there
all clear, but then a few days later ill
think of something else to worry about..
My advise is live your life as your too
young to worry.. Chin up xxxxx

My son had an episode just like you are
telling me. It started with a night up
on meth, street speed.
Tested him for everything, halter monitor,
30day halter monitor, found nothing other
than the episodes with meth, caffeine,
chocolate,:aderall would fall in the same
lines.
Let me tell you my son is only 19 and for
2 years he was up for days at a time and
speeding like crazy no problems. Of
course I dint know til after the fact.
Anyway, then he quit for a year, only did
it once in the year and then the day he
fell ill from it. Now he does no speed
, no caffeine, no chocolate for the
stimulants are bad for him, his heart
sppeds up, then goes really slow and with
the slowness he feels like it will stop
beating completely.
He used to like his pot too, now he cannot
even do pot or alcohol without symtoms,
but doc cleared him for any fatal
illnesses or anything. He is totally
aware of his heart all the time now, and
its hard for him, but I can say at 19 he
has really cleaned up his life cuz of
this. The anxiety he feels with this
condition, is sometimes treated with beta
blockers for the anxiety, bp pills, or the
like can help with this. Cuz the anxiety
can flare up the problems. My son just
took himself away from all the things that
caused him to be anxious and now he is
much much better.
Pvc---pac
premature ventricular contractions, or
premature artial contractions, anyway
something like that. When he is
stimulated by drugs caffeine, he beats to
soon. When he beats slow there are
longer spaces between beats. It is
irregular not the same beat from one beat
to the next---
