Heart problems

[Sophiexoxo]

Not sure if its to do with rythm but im 16 and for the past few months my heart has been acting up, ive told my mom but she doesnt think its serious enough for doctor attention. Basically almost everyday i expieriance severe chest pains which last between 10 and 30 minutes. Also on occasion it spikes headaches aswell or the pain spreads down my left side. It also skips beats alot and beats faster then normal (in p.e class it calculated to 130 in 6 seconds which was before any activity) it mainly acts up during the night and has caused me to pass out or suffer a panic attack from heavy breathing. Im worried and do not know what wrong, if anyone could help id apreciate it.

Thank you I was recently almost hospitalised from bad chest pains, my parents seem to beleive it is just women pains and still refuse and I am not giving up, as for the heart rate I did try and got 110

Sounds like your problem is getting agreement from your parents to be checked by a doctor.  

I do not have any reason to second-guess you parents.  But I think you should make it clear that your are suffering what you have described here.  

If it happens in school you may be able to discuss with a school nurse if there is one.

As for the HR of 130, even at rest, that high rate may be due to the activity of being in class more than any abnormal heart rate.  Check your heart rate when turely at rest.  Then it should be below 100 pbm to be "normal".

I believe young people tend to have higher HR than adults (over 18 years old).
