Please help mee

by Chantillyrose, May 03, 2008 09:45AM
Hello i am 14 years old and i have been having palpiations when exercising for the past 2 years.
Latley it has been gettin worse i have been getting a crushing chest pain in the middle of my chest which feels like someone is sitting on me and whilst lying down i have been having difficaulty breathing. The pain has been radiating to my jaw and my left arm and shoulder and i also feel tired and weak when this happens.The other day i was also getting painful shooting pains down my left arm and in my hand. I have been refered to a paediatric doctor at the hospital and she thinks it may me angina and they have done a ECG on me and blood tests which all came back as normal. They have also done a Hotler monitor 24 hour ECG on me which then came back as no abnormalities although my heart rate was considerably low at night whilst asleep. I have just been refered to a cardiologist at Birmingham Childrens hospital in two weeks. Please help me find out what this is. It is causing me loads of pain and discomfort.
