Hi Iheart
September 20th, 2005
Hey, I am christopher williams, 16 years of age and I am worried sick about my heart, a couple of months ago for about a week my heart hurt like hell, struggled to breathe and found it hard to stand up, sitting down was fine, but after the week, it went and I was fine...

All my life every now and then, it can be a month or a day or a hour I get a really sharp pain near my heart and its unbreable, just dont know when its going to pop up...

Recently, and sadly, my freind passed away during a football match with heart failure, he was perfectly healthy and a top lad, just collapsed on the field after scoring a goal, and had no symptoms and serious health risk's in his life at all, but it still got him...

I am not comfortable with my condition, I dont know what it is and I dont want to go to the docters incase its just nothing, just need to know if you guys think my symptoms are normal for any risk of heart disease? Or attack or failure, infact it feels like electric is buzzing round it rite now, any help would put a huge rest on my mind

regards, chris williams

Sorry to hear about your friend.
I was just wondering...Did these symptoms come on after your friend passed away?
If so you could be worrying about it and that could be what
is causing your symptoms.
Please go to the doctors about this though...It doesn't matter if it's just nothing, just get yourself checked out...Thats what the doctors for.
I'm 15 and at the moment am sure theres something seriously wrong with my heart but i've been tested and told all the symptoms I have are caused by my anxiety...I still refuse to believe it though

You should refer to my topic on pericarditis. Sounds like that's what it could be, but go and see a dr asap because it is a serious matter.

I agree with delancey, I think you should go see a doctor for a check-up. It could be just anxiety and shouldn't be worrying.
