Is your mother aware of how bad it is?  If not you need to tell her so you don't have to wait so long to see the doctor.

Anxiety does cause what you are experiencing, with the dry mouth, fast heartbeat, and shortness of breath.  There are many here who suffer with this from anxiety.  Acid reflux is very common and is controlled with medications and eating the right foods.  You will probably outgrow this.  That doctor is wrong in saying it doesn't sound like anxiety, until he sees you; he can't know. But it's always good to rule out other causes before "assuming" it's anxiety.  You're so young to have anxiety, but it happens and we hear from many teens about what you're experiencing.  This is probably why the doctor doesn't feel it's anxiety.  If he thought it was anything serious he would be seeing you sooner, or having your mom take you to the ER.  Anxiety feeds on our fears and the more we worry the bigger and stronger the anxeity becomes, so it's important to learn now not to worry so much.  Stay busy, have fun with your friends, do things you enjoy.  Do anything to keep your mind busy so you aren't worrying so much, or one day you'll wake up an old person and wonder where the years went.  You will be fine.  Take care.
