Answer 1

I think its most likely the doctor is right but he is wrong with one thing and that you are to young for your heart to have problems it is very rare but can still happen to 16 year olds.

If you feel you dont belive the doctor seek advice from another doctor then

Answer 2

I am 27 years old and I have anxiety. I am often convinced I have heart problems. I get panic attacks, which makes my heart race, I get chest pains, and I even get arm pain. For me, it is in my head. It's amazing how your body can play tricks on you. I recently had an EKG, which was normal. If this worry doesn't subside, I would see a therapist and try to get your anxiety sorted out. I was the same way when I was 16. Anxiety medication does help a bit. Good luck!
