Answer 1

anxiety, panic attack

Answer 2

anxiety is what your probably feeling i get it too acid indegestion is also caused by stress although its not the only cause but i put my money on anxiety also like the first person said consult a doctor you might also have a heart murmur get it checked out but im 24 and say try and remove your self from stress full situations as well

Answer 3

this could be a anxity attack or could be artery spasms of the heart. i have both and it can get hard to distengish between the two, either way you need to see a doctor and if the first doctor tells you he can not find anything wrong do not take that get a second opinion.

Answer 4

Sounds like panic attacks/anxiety attacks...I would still see a doctor though, it could be something serious...you really should try to find ways to de-stress, exercise is great-it realeases all that negative energy (trust me, it works)

Answer 5

stress, stress, stress. I ve been through this. When I get overwhelmed, stressed out, tired etc I get pains in my chest, shortness of breath.

I went through all kinds of medical test to find out it was panic attacks.
