Hello! I'm a 17 year old female and for some time now, I've been getting random sharp chest pains, I'm short of breath and dizzy. At some points I feel fine, others I'm not. My friends think that its just stress, anxiety and depression. I have a heart arrhythmia called svt but other than that there's no problems with my heart. I've had all sorts of tests done a few months ago but I'm still having issues. The sharp chest pain doesn't spread, its pretty focused but it does change spots sometimes. It usually is in my sternum area. I also feel weak and just over all sick. Should I be nervous? I know I'm a hypochondriac but this is new.
How long have you had it for? I had the same thing for about a month and it was due to anxiety. I finally manage to stop thinking about it and once the anxiety is calm down it started going away. It is an annoying symptom though. Goodluck
Don't be nervous at all. Try and get that thought as far out of your head as possible. Anxiety manifests our worst fears and does it's best to try and trick us. You're going to be fine and you're going to make it through this
Like you, I have a heart condition from birth and I was lucky enough to be left well alone and now I am sixty eight and my blood pressure and colestral are set at normal.
I found out about my problem after a car accident in the seventies and went through a load of tests and then told to get on with my life.
What was decided after your tests ?
If ok, get on with your life if uncertain talk to your GP. There are many out there with heart concerns, some like me have been walking around for sixty eight years and ok. You may need to live with it.
