Please help me!
Im 14. 4 days ago i caught a strange cold nobody realize because i didnt told anyone. The symptoms are sleepiness, mini headaches and eye aches when i move them, exhaustion, cough, loss of appetite, dizziness such as feeling movements sensitively and tiny bit of nauseous (My breathing was warm and i could scent abit of puke/mucus down my throat) Im taking a medicine today that heals cough, cholorophyll drink and those delicious vitamin c one spoon per day. However my biggest concern is i feel so exhausted, when i run or do fast movements for only a short time my heart is already beating fast. I'm worried. This morning i was late for bus and i quickly put the jumper in my bag and then i sat there with painful chest fast heartbeat and heavily nauseous. Does anybody know why? And how to cure? Please help me i'm scared!
If you're having issues because you did something silly - it's OK to tell an adult you trust, even if it is not a parent - because everyone makes mistakes and the first step is admitting that you've made one.
That said, if you haven't done anything silly - and you are just - sick - you really do need to talk to, again, and adult you trust - again, even if it is not a parent - maybe a friend's parent - the school Nurse? Nanna? grandma? A neighbor?
Are you eating healthy and enough? If you aren't eating enough, you can feel weak and have crazy symptoms.
Are you drinking anything that might cause this? Rockstar? Amped? 5-hour energy? Mountain dew? coffee? At 14, caffeine should have a big impact on you - so stay away from all that stuff - at least until you feel better. *I recently ran into a 17 year old that didn't understand why he was so tired in the late afternoon - turns out he was drinking rockstar after dinner and thinking he was cool because he "like never needed to sleep" and he didn't realize that one Rockstar was like several cups of coffee all at once - plus sugar. I kinda wanted to bop him on the head and say - DUH really?!)
Are you drinking enough to stay hydrated? Meaning stuff without caffeine or a lot of sugar? Like water, gatorade, skim milk, decaf coffee, etc? Even kids are supposed to drink at least 4 of those disposable (16oz) bottles of water per day. If your pee is yellow, then you need more liquids. If you aren't peeing 4-5 times a day, then you DEFINITELY need more liquids. haha.
If none of the above helps, your symptoms sound a little like, it's possible you could have walking pneumonia or something called Valley Fever - which sometimes starts like a cold or the flu, but just doesn't get better. The difference between the two is that Pneumonia is fluid in the lungs. Valley Fever if fungus in the lungs and it takes a while to properly diagnose. They both decrease your lung capacity and make it hard to breathe.
Good luck. Be safe and smart and talk to someone you trust - no matter who that ends up being. :)

A site admin moved to this more general community, hope you find some help.
My original recommendation remains, but I will say the loss of sleep can cause the other symptoms of fatigue and faster heart rate.
At the age of 14 is is very unlikely you have a heart problem, not impossible, but very unlikely. That is why I asked that your post be moved.
I also believe most participants on this type community/forum are not qualified to give medical advice, only to share experience. Many, myself included, are reluctant to encourage the us of the web as a substitute for a minor discussion health problems with a parent, and as needed a doctor.
Good luck, practice a healthy life style will help I know that for sure.
