Ok. i just want to make it clear i am pretty frightened.
I'm 14.
Last night, I started getting chest pains, followed by breathing issues (which seem to have subsided) and I am convinced I have suffered or will suffer a heart attack.
If this helps, I am slightly overweight and at my last health check I was fit and well. I had a blood test in March and everything was normal apart from a slightly overactive thyroid.
Thank you, Matt.
Hi Matthew,
At 14 I would suggest you explain to your parents / whoever you live with and get an appointment with your doctor for a checkup ASAP.
General Anxiety and Health Anxiety can cause all manner of bodily symptoms inc chest pains and breathing concerns however it is always best to get a medical professional to diagnose.
All the best. . .
hi Matthew…I’m so sorry you’re experiencing these problems. you’re SO young, much too young to have to worry bout such things!
however, I’m not discounting your concern.
please talk to your parents or a trusted adult.
you shouldn’t have to go this alone…and to be clear, I suspect it’s not anything to worry about…just let someone know!
best wishes!
Thanks.
I have told my mum and she says she thinks the symptoms are worse because i’m worrying and there is no need to see a doctor but i’m still 100% convinced I will die 
Thanks 
I have told my mum and she said that its anxiety and it seems like a heart attack because I am worrying about it.
I ended up going to A&E and they did an ECG and said I was fine. Can an ECG pick up a heart attack before it happens though?
