Heart Trouble....
Posted: 03-28-04 09:48am

Hi, I am new to the site and I wanted to ask a question. I am only 17 years old. Five years ago, we had a house fire and my little sister died. Ever since then I get this bad, bad heart pain. It only happens periodically, and when it does happen, it only lasts for like a split second. But the pain is just excrutiating. I was wondering if anybody can tell me what might be causing this, because I think it might be stress. I have seen a doctor and he says nothing is wrong. If you could give me some feedback, it would be very appreciated. Thank you.....

Actually I had a full blown panic attack one night caused by drugs unintentionally taken at a party (don't drink the punch...). It felt like a heart-attack , or a stroke. It felt very real - and since that night i've been somewhat fearing having another "attack." this happened about four months ago, and I had several panic attacks since then.

I felt pinching and sharp pains in my chest for several months. I do believe it was caused by my anxiety - as i've had plenty of ekgs, bloodwork, ect... All of the tests came out completely normal. I wouldn't pay it any mind unless it starts happening frequently (or if new symptoms develop).
