Teenager with chest pain, how long does it last?

[Nialaurenx]

I am 16 and started having chest pain out of no where followed with a panic attack where I physically felt like I was dying , however I am not sure whether this was due to my mentsrual cycle or whether it is due to anxiety as I have previously been diagnosed with a panic disorder. I have not been to the doctors but have a bad phobia of needles so I don’t want to go unless I know it is really bad. Pls help

It’s anxiety. What was happening before it started or your thoughts. I have them all the time as I’m stressed & sick. When I calm down I wonder why I freak out so bad. Are you on meds or getting counceling? A good Councellor makes you work like homework like a diary about your feelings your day. What your upset about what makes you feel better. Talking is good but better with homework. Try to breathe or do some EFT. I’m not well myself right now tired so not doing well. Better atm. Fear is what makes you panic. The attack is a symptom of the fear.

Thank you for the advice means a lot I hope you can deal with yours also 🤞🏽

I have that all day from stress and acid reflux asthma. I haven’t had any relief in 3 months. I can’t breathe deeply. So if you do breathing deeply and try eft on youtube it helps. If I did t have reflux I’d be doing better. But it’s common to have anxiety from reflux plus I have anxiety. Facing fear with help is how you deal it’s panic and a plan. Today I’m going fir therapy for getting through reflux I have it so bad. If you get caught up in the symptoms you get worse. So talk about what’s bothering you

I did look up symptoms for reflux or a heart burn like feeling but it never really matched up with it, but yes I will book in an appointment with a doctor to see what type of health I have to offer , I hope your therapy goes well also the therapy I used to receive for my anxiety I beloved worked but it’s just all about finding the way that benefits you

Hi ... have you considered that you may have a Thyroid condition as those symptoms can be related to HYPERthyroidism .. 🦋

put a post up there and see if anyone there can advise you ... if you could have a blood test and print out there the details for Thyroid members to see ....that would be better

Ask your doctor For your ...

.....TSH T3 and T4 to be tested as well as antibodies so that you will be able to put a name to this !

Best of luck ..

Nialaurenx That is not good to hear, like Hidden said you need to address whats triggering it. I had Panic attacks and anxiety appear from what seemed no where it took a while to figure it out but when I did I could then address it and manage it better, I chose to stay away from Pharma remedy's and instead tried CBD could not believe the almost immediate effect that it had on me. It helped me to look at my problems in a more positive way that with a change in my lifestyle etc.

Hope you find the answers you are looking for and you manage to control those feelings.

I have tried cbd, and to be fair it does work however my panic disorder leaves me to have random phases of depression and fear aswell as a weird phobia of death , they come random quite often
