pain help

[amanda6313]

i am 16 years old and i suffer from anxiety. my most common symptoms are trouble breathing, chest pain, lightheadedness, shaking, basically youre textbook anxiety symptoms. at this point after suffering for anxiety for a while now ive gotten used to convincing myself that my chest pain and hard of breathing are just symptoms of my anxiety, but today i started feeling shooting pains and tingling feelings up my whole right arm. even though i am only 16, my anxiety of course begins to tell my head that im having a heart attack. one thing that always helps is reassurance that it is just my anxiety, so i thought i would come on here to see if anyone else suffers from the same arm feelings during anxiety.

I know it's hard not to panic but what your feeling I have experienced to and so have many others grab a drink of water if your not feeling sick lay down and try to relax if you have a family member at home don't be ashamed to tell them how your feel personally I find it actually helps when I tell someone I'm with what I'm going through and you will start to calm down

And yes I get chest pain light headed spaced out shortness of breath sickness feel like my throat is closing up so don't worry

These symptoms are quiet common when having an anxiety attack

You are young and I would urge you to talk with your parents , a relative , a close friend or even your Doctor
