Yes, possible digestive. Too much acid can cause chest pain. One simple cure is to drink 100% organic apple cider vinegar to neutralize the acid in the stomach. And eat lots of green vegetables!

Yes, anxiety can cause us extreme worry. Can you go to your primary doctor and ask for a routine exam (like an annual physical)?

Yes i have been there where he told me my hearts got a good pump when he was listening to it and on my other forums you will see i have reported i have had 2 ecgs blood work 2 chest x-rays. and seen childrens paediatrics doctors?
I aint Happy and have been thinking to see a private cardiologist.
But will cost alot of money and i aint got much money.
as here i see free doctors on the nhs but i feel as if it was hopeless.

im scared and think im going to have a heart attack before long.

Try to request a stress test, too. It will test your heart over time doing exercise.

Can you feel your heart beat?

When does it hurt?

Anxiety. A heart attack does not last indefinitely. It is a single event. Anxiety and indigestion.

Do you smoke, by the way?

There's a technique called bio feedback. You might want to try this treatment to identify anxiety areas on your body (where you FEEL the anxiety) and develop ways to relax your back shoulders and jaw.

Not sure. But I don't think something so serious would persist for so long without any positive tests. Plus, you're 16!

Do you think maybe you're experiencing hypochondria, or maybe your head is causing these problems to exist in the first place? There's a condition called psycho-somatic disorder. You also might want to look at that as a possible diagnosis.

yes
I Did Ask My Doctor About That !"

He Said That Psycho-Somatic Is When You Have a Disease But Like Imagine More Doffrent Symphtomns And Make Them Ten Times Worse......
Simce He Said i Hve No Disease Or Diagnosed ....Disease Or Problems !
Then Its Not Worthy Of Talking About My Doctors Like That Somtimes Sad

Hypochondria" As Rang Some Bells Mixed With Anxiety What You Think!
