Chest Tightness and Shortness of Breath, With a Side of Anxiety

[John_R_P]

Hello. My name is John, and I'm 17 years old. A few months ago I had my first traumatizing panic attack. It was triggered by a "snap" or "pop" noise and I truly believed I had an aneurysm. I was taken to the ER and was told I had a severe anxiety attack and was given meds to calm down. Ever since I feel like I've been living on the brink of death. Every little pain I get in my head leads to me thinking: "This is how I die." It's driving me insane. The times I went to my doctor with my "symptoms" he'd always go back to anxiety. While the majority of it may be me amplifying smaller problems, I can't help but feel it's stopping him from giving me some help for other problems. Anyway, the point of this post is me complaining about more symptoms. Anxiety or something more. I can't tell the difference, you be the judge. Recently in the past week, I have this tightening feeling in my chest and am short of breath. There's some minimal pain here and there as well as the urge to cough. I know I statistically shouldn't have heart problems at my age but I'd like some closure.

Additional Info: I've been a sheltered kid all my life. Currently cyberschooling and I spend the majority of my free time playing computer games with my online friends. That's not to say I never leave my house but it's usually limited to weekends. I know sitting here in front of my screen most days for hours isn't healthy and some change in activity is needed. I also have a cat who spends most of his time in the same room as me, so we have all his stuff in my room(litterbox included).

Thanks! My pain got bad to where I went to the hospital. I told them I wasn't feeling anxious and they checked everything (blood, urine, heart, etc.). Turned out everything is fine, and now I have some sort of peace of mind. I'll give that hypnosis a try. Thanks again.

I have had bouts of anexity for years, this last panic attack I had put me in the hospital and cost 15k. Best part is that I now know my heart is perfectly fine. I have found online hypnosis for anexity works to change your thinking habits. Hope this helps
