Panic Disorder?

Question

I am 14 and have Panic Disorder. The thing is I always get this:
On the side of my rib cage where my heart is it hurts like 20 times a day for 1-2 seconds sometimes 3 seconds. This gets me very anxious thus causing more fears. I am growing my parents say it can be because your rib cage is getting larger im 5'6" 105 pounds. Skinny and tall basically. Could a professional or anyone who has experienced this for like as long as me which is 2 months respond .

Thank You,
I appreciate it

Answer 1

I was diagnosed w/panic disorder 3 years ago. This is NOT what you have. Do you have Doctor to diagnose your physical problem? Go see a medical doctor....your descriptions are physical, not mental. Best wishes.

Answer 2

I experienced aniety & panic attacks for several months which started out mildly & then became worse to the point where I could no longer leave my home.I went to many doctors & they all told me the only thing that would help would be to take anti depressents.I refused (after much research).I am doing wonderful now.You might not believe me but the only thing that helped was ALOT of prayer & taking lots of supplements(such as amino acids which are proven to help with anxiety which causes these panic attacks).

Answer 3

I have anxiety disorder and panic attacks and I'm old enough to be your grandfather darn near. It's probably heart palpitations. Panic attacks are often accompanied by palpitations. And yes, it does increase the anxiety when that happens. It's very frightening, even for me, even though palpitations are usually harmless. You can feel your own heart beat especially when you are lying on your left side. Just try to stay calm and tell yourself you are alright. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to ask your doctor first. He or she is treating you for your anxiety disorder I assume.
