Teenager experiencing symptoms of heart failure but nurses seem to think its fine

[trikelife]

So recently (2 and a half months ago) I began to experience pains in my chest. I thought nothing of it until I got increasingly worried about it because the pain although not severe, and sometimes only a discomfort,  was not going away. I then began to experience sharp pains in my jaw. So of course I self diagnosed and the main thing that came up was heart disease. I know this was a terrible idea but I was curious and worried about my health. So I go to the doctors after 2 days of this and they tell me that its just stress. They tell me no one in my family had heart disease and that im healthy and fine. But im so confused! Ive been experiencing constant chest pain and pains relating to heart disease, and they simply do a test of my blood pressure (which came out at 135/90 and I'm a 14 year old guy with an underweight bmi) and take my pulse, listen to my heart and then say im fine. I dont see how they know im fine with such little testing. Its been 2 and a half months and I still get chest pains. I have started to experience arythmias and my heart beats harder and faster when I take a deep breath in and drastically slows when I breath out. Along with this I have been experiencing a feeling of depersonalization, feeling disconnected from my body. And im scared to go to the doctor now because every time I go they tell me its stress. I dont even have anything stressing me out in life apart from these symptoms! Please help me out I dont know what I should do

Go see a cardiologist. These nitwit PCPs don't know a thing about heart conditions. If your symptoms are intermittent, they can send you home with a decive you place on your chest that can detect arrhythmia

Oh and try just massaging your chest muscles when it hurts. If you notice improvement of sensitivity, it could just be a knot in your pectoralis or growing pains. I had some issues like yours when I was 17 and had to see 3 doctors before I was diagnosed with afib.

Hi there.
Write down all your symptoms, go to a new doctor and get proper evaluation. Its highly unlikely there is anything wrong.
But until you resolve your doubts, the issue wont go away.
After your tested and given the all clear, you will get your confidence and peace of mind back.
Go for it

i have to agree with the docs, you need to relax go have fun with your friends and family and i tell you once you start living again these symptoms will go away if they dont then it might be anxiety or something

But the thing is that I have a relaxing life, middle class no family complications, I have virtually nothing thats stressing me out and I dont feel stressed, apart from when I stress out about symptoms. And maybe your right, but I'd like to know for certain that im not letting something more serious go under the radar.

You should try a clinic, tell them that you are concerned and want a second opinion. The is a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White that can show up at any age. It's not usually dangerous but it can be. When you speak to the doctor just be calm, clearly explain your symptoms and what triggers them and how long it has been going on.

Thank you, the symptoms of WPW seem to fit the most out of anything I've seen so far. I will take your advice and go ask for a second opinion, and you're right, I should probably write down my symptoms because whenever I go to the the doctors  I always forget to say certain things.
