I Feel Like I Can T Breathe And My Heart Races, Kindly Help
Recently I have been having some issues at school and at home, and I m just going through a very difficult time. Yesterday I noticed that there is this feeling that continues on in my chest . I feel like I can t breathe and my heart races. Sometimes I get dizzy and get headaches. Is this just stress or could it be something else? And are there any ways I can get it to go away?

You may have episodes of PSVT or Paroxysmal Supra Ventricular Tachycardia. This is a non fatal rhythm that details all of the symptoms you are experiencing. Several million people have this rhythm disturbance and it is quite common. Stress can in fact bring it on, and it can terminate as randomly as it began. Get plenty of rest at night and try to avoid caffeinated drinks.
