Woke up feeling like crap and a pounding heart.

[carrieprice1998]

So after my breathing problem all day yesterday, I woke up this morning with a rapidly pounding heart and scared to death and my head is hurting. I'm only 89 pounds at 18 years old. Could this have something to do with it? I'm just really scared. My heart hasn't stopped pounding all morning. I have had lots of ekgs, all of which were normal, I had a 24 he holter, which was normal and a normal chest xray. Is this anxiety or what? I'm scared.

I'd be willing to bet it is anxiety. I myself had ecg after ecg. Troponin testing, stress echo, 48 hour holter, bloods checked a ton. Everything came back fine. Anxiety can cause pure HELL on us mentally and physically. Your weight and age more than likely have nothing to do with any heart problems. Try to stay positive and remember anxiety always passes, even though it may take sometime. It passes.

I have been going through this aswell. All my ekg's and all the test on my heart checked out but I had constant chest pains from anxiety. I was prescribed anxiety medications for temporary use. I only get the chest pains during panic attacks now so like once maybe twice a day on a bad day.
