Hello, I'm a 16 years old girl and this summer in July when I was on holiday I got heart palpitations just when I was sat down as usual, I wasn't upset and wasn't worried about
anything, when I went to the doctors they said that it was nothing and the next day I had my first ever panic attack, my sister told me that that's what it was because she can relate to the symptoms I described to her, I felt an uneasy feeling in my chest and hand were sweaty, I had to quickly move around I couldn't stay still and I was shaking and felt a little light headed, I also felt sick but didnt vomit and I felt like I couldn't breath properly, I went to my room and cried a lot and calmed down after half an hour or so. I then visited another doctor and he gave me some blood tests and they came back fine. But then I started getting these random pains usually in the upper part of my body, it started with stabbing pains just above my left breast and the next day it was my back. The next one was in the centre if my chest (I got this one twice whilst I was in a long car journey both times, it didn't hurt hurt but it was like something was stuck in my chest and it was uncomfortable the pains were never in the same spot and each one would last a day or so. They didn't occurs at the same time).
On top of all of that I'm a hypocondriac and any little pain or thing I find on my body I freak out about
and assume its something serious, it happenes usually a few times a year. I believe that after getting the heart palpitations that's what freaked me out and brought on everything else ( at least I hope that's what caused them) I googled all my symptoms all summer and was freaked out by the results I got( alot of them started coming after I read about
them like the pain in the centre of my chest) since then I have visited 3 doctors and had 2 blood tests done. I don't have any major illness in my family but my sister said she got panic attacks too? Also one thing, i remember when i was about
12 i had something similar to this, back then i didnt use the internet and i didnt know that things like panic attacks, anxiety, and depression..etc existed. so i literally started getting these pains usually in my chest and i couldnt sleep at night, i didnt know how to explain it to the doctors so that didnt help at all....i was wondering that maybe what happened to me when i was 12 has come back to haunt me again now, you know since it wasnt really treated at all, i didnt get any medication or anything but it slowly started disappearing after 2 years.. juts a thought idk?
Please help me I'm freaking out so much!!
