Hi, I'm a 19 y/o female and lately I have been worried about some symptoms I have been having with my heart.
I have been getting really bad chest tightness and pain along with a pounding heart whenever I get up to walk around even just stand up for a bit. The tightness is also in my throat along with a pain that appears in my carotid artery in my upper neck. It has been quite a bother lately. You see I have pretty bad panic attacks; or so I have been told. So this has been worrying me. I get panic attacks daily but this doesn't feel like any normal panic attack it's such a weird sensation I can not describe it fully. I went to the hospitals emergency room recently because it was bothering me so much but because my vitals were fine, they didn't even check me and dismissed it as a panic attack. I strongly disagree with this it is just so bothersome and constant i don't know what to do. I am too poor to visit a dr unless absolutely necessary. I guess I just need to know f I should be worried, I har a family history of heart arythmias, Diabetes, and hyper thyroidism. Is it something I should absolutely get checked out or is it a panic stack. I do not eat much or drink much water, because of the stress I'm under, could that be the reason? Not do I exercise much because it is too hot outside and it bothers my asthma. I really need a second opinion because very one around me says it's nothing but it doesn't feel like it, being as constant as it is. Please help. My anxiety is only making me panic! Ahh.
Thank you.
