hello!
I am 15 years old and I'm a freshman in highschool.
About 3 months ago, I starting having chest pains that would especially hurt everytime I breathed in. And I had been diagnosed with technycardia before all this. Anyway.. My mom took me to the doctors and they said to go to the hospital cause they didnt know what it was. So when we got there my heart rate was about 140. And they did all these tests. They did an EKG, and a chest x-ray. They were both fine so they said to go home. And cone back if it gets worse.. So the next day my chest pain was going away and at the same time I got these horrible and very painfull headaches. I didn't want to move my head cause it was so bad. And everytime I got up I would see black areas in my vision and get dizzy on top of the headache and high heart rate I started getting a fever of almost 102.
This continued for about 2 weeks and in that time frame I went to see 2 differnt doctors maybe 3 even 4 times. They all didn't know what was going on. Eventually the fever went away. But now I'm still dealing with the heart rate and I still get the headaches that just kill me just about everyday. My famlily has no clue what to do next. Does anybody have an answer?

Young people can have fast heart rates. The headaches are a concern and you should have a head scan (EEG) to make sure that this is not caused by a tumor. Sounds like you had a virus and a virus can make your heart rate very fast. Headaches everyday are not normal. You need to see a doctor to determine what is causing them.

thanks for commenting!!! Yeah my heart rate was Especially elevated when I had the virus illness. I feel like everytime I see a doctor they just say it's normal don't worry. And they don't do anything about it. I know that this is not normal. My grandmother suffered from the same illness when she was my age up to when she was about 40. Do you think this may be a generic dissorder?
