Well, I've had this before, and it went away for a while but recently it's started again. They seem to occur at random, and last a few hours at least.
On Christmas eve I started getting them again, sharp pressing pains just below my breast bone, along with the feeling I get in my tummy when I'm nervous.
It gets worse just after I've eaten, or when I'm lying down.
I've found that heavy breathing does not help, but shallow breathing, or holding my breath does help.
It's really bad at night. I mean like I cant sleep, because it keeps waking me up, and it feels like I'm having a panic attack or something. Well, I do dream about my worst fears every night.
Putting pressure on it helps, and lying face down is better than lying on my back.
I don't smoke or anything, but my mum used to when I was a baby.
I'm a teenager, so it can't be old age.
Are chest pains a symptom of any blood borne diseases? I cut myself pretty much every day, and I've used razors that have been used by other people, so wouldn't that put me at risk or something?
I don't like these chest pains and stuff. They're scary, and I haven't even told anybody.
I don't want to tell my mum, and I have a huge phobia of doctors/hospitals/medical things, so I wan't to avoid taking a trip to the doctors.
Does anyone think it's worth visiting my GP??
Is it more likely to be a physical cause? Or just anxiety?
