Kinda scares...

[xoxox]

I feel so scared for no reason. I feel like my life is slowly slipping away. But I don't want to go yet, I'm scared to die. My chest feels so uncomfortable, I feel slight pain, same goes for my upper back. Not sure if some of you are familiar to a fast food restaurant called "Canes" but my family got some and I just ate 1 fried chicken piece with some fries and a piece of bread that come with the chicken. The reason I ate so little is because I'm scared of getting the pain in my chest. I feel uncomfortable on the center of my chest, and pain on the left side. My jaw also feels worn out and tired. Is it my anxiety that's causing this? Or am I going to get a heart attack soon? I mean can a 13 year old get one? That's what I'm freaking out. Thanks for the read.

Hi xoxox, I hardly believe you will have a heart attack at 13 years of age. It sure sounds like anxiety doing this to you. My chest and upper back hurt like heck because my muscles are so intensely tight every day. You may be feeling scared for no reason but you won't be going anywhere for a long time. You need to stop worrying about it. Your meal sounded good, I only wish you could have enjoyed it without worrying about your chest hurting. When you worry your chest gets tighter causing you pain. I hope you feel better and enjoy the rest of the evening. xx

Yeah, I really whished I could have eaten it better without worrying. Its actually really good. I used to love it before worrying about everything like I am now. When I would feel slight pressure somewhere on my chest area, that's when the worry starts, and thats what causes pain. But thanks, and hope you also enjoy this evening <3

xoxox, I know telling you not to worry doesn't do you any justice. It's not going to wipe out your fears. Of course, not eating well balanced diets is not good for you either. Looking to your next post, I'm glad that you will be seeing a doctor about this issue. I wish you well with your appointment. Sending you a hug x

I suffer with anxiety too and I get random chest pain or tightness all the time. And sometimes when I eat I'll get a sharp pain on the left side of my chest just under my lower ribs and I wouldn't say that's anxiety but your stomach as your stomach is around that area and is near the heart and sometimes the sharp pain feels like a heart pain plus you're 13 so I really doubt it's your heart but it could be anxiety too but It's not impossible for a heart attack at 13 but it's very unlikely as you're still young but dw I was the same as you 3 months ago. I didn't eat anything except like salads or fruit coz I was scared if I eat something fatty or unhealthy I'll have a heart attack and I'm only 19 so it's very unlikely too

Yeah same goes for me, I would stop eating thinking that most of the food contained lots of unhealthy things like cholesterol, trans fat etc. So I would just eat like one time a day, and a little fruit. I would actually think that starving would burn off all of the "bad cholesterol and unhealthy fats" but I was wrong. My mom said that she will make me a doctors appointment soon. I'll tell them what I feel. Hopefully they can help. But thanks and best whishes to you <3

It's good that you're going to see a doctor! And hopefully seeing one will make you feel a lot better too I always try and tell people to not worry but it's not very easy for them to stop worrying as I now know so I just hope everything get well for you soon! I usually tell myself now whenever I feel something that it's all anxiety and I accept it and I get through it and after a few hours it all goes away so when you start feeling it just keep telling yourself you're fine and it's just anxiety and just accept it and hopefully that will help you
