:( so much anxiety. Help calm me :(

[CobaltKid]

Hello. Young 18 year old here. Bad anxiety and under a lot of stress. But generally healthy and good blood pressure and heart. Anyways, the other day I went to sit down and I felt this enormous head rush and I felt it start from my heart and move up to my head. Followed by that was a pretty sharp pain in the middle and slightly upper part of my chest. I have bad panic attacks so I looked up what it could be and I saw aortic dissection. Of course I flipped out and almost passed out from the fear. Lol. But anyways. Do you guys think I have that? Can I just get it out of nowhere? Or would I be dropped dead? I normally feel small pains around my chest and back. Of course in aortic dissection you get pain between your shoulder blades and I get that anyways from a recent auto accident. Please help calm me down. :(

Do not ever look up on the internet my doctor said to me, its the best thing not to do, theres so much garbage out there, this can be a trapped nerve or just anxiety,
symptoms of anxiety are:

breathlessness, palpitations, ectopic beats, dizzy, lightheaded, feeling sick chest pains ............

i have anxiety and i get all of these, you should really see a doctor to make sure it is and get it sorted.

Hey there, no I don't think you have aortic dissection.  Please do your best to stop searching the Internet with your symptoms.  If you feel you absolutely must, make sure to read all the info since this sort of thing happens to people age 40-70.  What you Might have due to your car accident is costochondritis.  It's inflammation of the chest wall that causes benign pain.  Look it up and try to calm down a little :)
