👋 Sorry to hear you are out of sorts again. This is your brand of anxiety. By this, I mean each of us experiences the big A in different ways.

Your anxious brain is sending these messages to the rest of you so, although uncomfortable you will have learn to live with this UNLESS you take steps to control your anxiety.

There are many options to choose from such as medication, therapy, exercise, distraction, meditation b4 sleep etc. or any other combination you like.

By researching & discussing all of the above options with your 👨‍⚕️doctor, you will be in a better place to make informed decisions about what to do. Together, you can work on a treatment plan specifically designed for you. Putting a plan together takes extra time so be sure to mention this when making your appointment. My own plan is in the 15th edition and reviewed at each visit.

I hope you find something that works.🐨

Hi this is classic health anxiety and very common and your symptoms are caused by this. You have had tests and nothing has been found. You are very unlikely at 16 to have heart issues as these are generally the preserve of the middle aged and upwards.

Have a look on YouTube for understanding and assistance to help you deal with it. Also speak to your school counsellor.
