Is it anxiety thats giving this problem?

Question

Im 14 and at a normal weight. Its the summer, and i started recently noticing my heart and beats and stuff like that. I am healthy, got a physical even had the sthetoscope check. But sometimes after I wake up in the morning, I feel as if I cant breath, or when im lying die, Shortness of breath. I do worry alot, its my habit.. Thought i had a heart problem, heart attack, well not really but arrthymia, i even checked my wrist pulse. Felt normal to me. But, then i get this cold sweat sometimes. Sometimes my heart beats and then stops and then continues. And with school arriving soon, I think and think.COuld this be all normal ? and treatable ? I dont like worrying about my breaths of air, but when i dont think about it, I usually breathe fine, until i think about it again.

Answer 1

It sounds exactly like anxiety, or mild panic attacks. It is very treatable, but you must talk with your parents and see a doctor if it doesn't get any better. There is nothing wrong with your heart more than likely. They may give you an ecg just in  case. It's an easy test. I have had it when I was having an anxiety attack in the doctor's office. LOL

So, take some deep breaths, and try to do some meditating; listen to some mellow music. But, please tell your parents, ok?

good luck. I know exactly how you feel.
