Little worried

For two days I have been getting a tingling, tight pain in the middle of my chest, it happens when I worry or anxious. I noticed I get a hot with it, sometimes a little dizzy, but I kind of panic and have to do deep breathing to calm me down. I'm not sure what it is and wondered if anyone else has had the same problem? Or if its normal part of growing up? Or do I need a docter? :( I'm a little worried, which isn't helping right now! :( I have the pain right now.
 
Try to calm down, you can get all sorts of aches and pains when you're panicking. I'm sure it's nothing serious, but if it continues, then see your doctor, OK? This is Auntie Halo telling you! :) In the meantime, try breathing slowly, in through your nose and out through your mouth, and see if that helps. :)
 
Sounds like an anxiety attack. The first thing isn't to panic about it. They're not a normal part of growing up, but they are a pretty common problem. Most important thing to remember is that you won't come to harm. Anxiety attacks don't kill people. Just try to calm down and let it run its course. It will reach a point where it will subside naturally all by itself.

If you have anything that's stressing you at the moment then you should start with trying to fix that. Going to see your doctor is a good plan. not necessarily for any medication, but because they can put you in touch with someone who can help you cope with the stress.

Seeing as this is a book forum, you might like to find a copy of Manage Your Mind by Gillan Butler and Tony Hope. It explains what's happening to you and how to cope and overcome the problem.
 
ive had that for years rainbow gurl, but i was born with a mitrovalve deconditon, so its normal fo rme, but id take everyones advise....when i get it i just rtry to relax, then i always feel better
 
Thanks for the advice everyone, it is anxiety attacks I'm having. My doctor said to just try and calm down and do the deep breathing that I'm already doing.
I have been stressed latley, I've been suffering a few problems in my life, friendship problems, parent problems, no wonder I'm stressed :(

I've been tought at school that you can have a heart attack at any age. I guess you have to be quite obese or eat many fatty foods.
