17 year old kid worried, does this sound like anxiety? read and answer please!!!
by joeyx3mcr, May 31, 2007 12:00AM
I had an "anxiety attack" about 2 months ago, and ever sense have not felt right.
I have had off and on chest pain and heavyness, it tends to move through my chest though, some lower back pain, a little bit of tightening feeling around the roof of my mouth, and around my jaw, shakyness, and just all around not really feeling like myself.
does this sound like anxiety or something more serious that needs to be looked at by a doctor?
what is the odds of a seventeen year old having heart problems or something like that?
Let me know, thanks.

I just dont feel like myself, I dont feel good, It tends to seem that I have no energy, but I still go outside and mess around and all.
I really dont know anything about this beacuse its never happened to me before and Ive never had to go to the doctors and never had anything medically wrong with me before.
heart conditions and stuff dont run in my family either, but I still am conserned.
I agree with the previous poster that you should go to the doctor for a complete check up. Not knowing what may be wrong just causes more anxiety. Going to the doctor will bring you peace of mind. None of us LIKE doing that, especially tennagers, but it's definitely the best thing to do. You'll be glad you did.
based on the your questions and reponses to posters over the past few weeks I am going to make this answer blunt:
chest tightness and pain in the jaw could indicate that you have heart problems. There are many heart conditions that are NOT age discriminatory and there are many people younger than you that require treatment for such conditions. I suggest, like I did when you posted over a week ago, that you go to the doctor for a full physical. Whether or not your mom will take you is irrevelant - just think outside the box (take your MOPED, have your friends or neighbour drive you, take public transport, take a cab etc. etc. etc.).
BTW: how did you manage to age by a year over the last week?????
