I have a strange feeling in my chest. I m sixteen years old, never smoked or done anything of the sort, no history of heart issues as far as I know, no previous heart issues, drink not water every day, I eat decently healthy, though I don t exercise. For the past year I ve had an aching feeling in my chest, like it s in my muscles or ribs. I think it may be from anxiety. I went to my doctor, who said she didn t think it was heart problems. I was referred to a pulmanologist, and they found nothing wrong and also said the issue didn t sound cardiac related. Ever since I ve developed terrible health anxiety, especially surrounding cardiac issues. After worrying about my heart s health for months, a new sensation has found its way to my chest. Unlike the previous pain, this feels deeper, like it s under my muscles and ribs. It doesn t hurt necessarily, but is rather uncomfortable and makes me feel the need to twist and turn my upper body due to the odd sensation. It almost feels like a part of my is being twisted, or maybe pinched. Rather uncomfortable, and very unnerving. I cannot go to a cardiologist at the moment, or a hospital for that matter, due to money issues. The strange feeling lasts for a couple of minutes at the most, and happens several times a day, about once every few hours. I m not sure if my health anxiety could be causing this, or if there s something severely wrong with me. Could this be caused by anxiety, or does this sound like something else? I m constantly afraid I m going to drop dead from some heart problems. (Also, I happen to be have chronic hyperventilation, if that may have anything to do with it.)
