Please help me

I was wondering what you think could be wrong with me. I have been tired lately, with fatigue. I spend most of my day on the couch. I do not go to bed til around 5 a.m. for some reason.  Also, I have trouble taking deep breaths along with tightness in my chest area. I don't know if this is from anxiety or what, but I do get myself worked up easily. I'm a 21 year old male, who is in good shape. I had blood work done recently and everything was fine except my blood was thicker than it should be and they attributed it to dehyrdation. Now I find myself drinking excessive water to make up for my dehydration which could be bad too. Please help me find whats wrong with me!

I am a 20 year old male and I am experiencing the exact same problem at the moment. I have had an uncomfortable feeling in my left brest area for a while and in my left shoulder blade,its not a sharp pain just a nagging discomfort.

I had a sudden anxiety attack about it in work two days ago assuming I had some terminal illness like lung cancer and had to leave work immediatly. My doctor did a basic blood pressure test and listened to my chest. He said I was fine and it was probably due to anxiety.

Unfortunatly it does not make me feel any better as it is still there and I have been experiencing fatigue since I had the anxiety attack and I find today I am quite irratable and don't want to deal with anyone I am also experiencing also shortness of breath. Im still worried but it helps to know others are experiencing it too.

These are very common and nonspecific symptoms.  It is best to discuss these symptoms and your concerns with your physician. He can perform tests and go over them with you to explain the problem or to reassure you that all is OK.  Trying to do this over the Internet is impossible and can only lead you to more anxiety.
