I know theres something wrong with my heart I can't exert myself without suffering severe palpitations and lightheadedness feeling like I am going to pass out.
Can anxiety really cause this?
I'm only 15 years old
i have been to several doctors and the emergency department a few times and they do tests but it all comes out negative and they say it's caused by anxiety but the thing is it comes on with exercise when im not even thinking about it
i can't do anything and I feel like killing myself because this is no life to be living stuck in this situation - I spend almost the whole day shut in looking up symptoms to try and find out whats wrong
and it's distressing because I used to be the happiest healthiest person around and I would be up for anything, now I don't even dare to go outside the front door because it feels as if im going to collapse :cry:

Oh you poor poor baby :( please dont kill yourself, I know you think lifes not worth living for but trust me it is. I mean I dont know if I can help you but I suppose I have something in common with you. Most days I feel really tired and I dont go out anymore..Well definetly not as much as I used 2. When I do exercise or I get excited/nervous my heart starts beating so fast and I start shaking. I dont understand it though. I have a social anxiety disorder and depression so I think this is the link for why I get this. I sometimes sit and try and look for an answer and I have had blood tests to find out whats wrong on - apparently nothing except for a few minor details...So I dont really know whats going on with me! I guess it can only be anxiety :( hope this helps in anyway at all...
