Lately, ive been having this strange chest pains. It kind of feels like food or something is stuck in my chest. Also, I have been having a sore throat and back pains.
It kind of feels like I have to clear my throat a lot. I just feel achey and somewhat run down.
Any ideas?

Well, I'm 18, almost 19.
I do sometimes wake up with an acidy taste in my mouth.
I also have moderate anxiety. I get all worked up over a problem when nothing is really wrong.

I would say it also sounds like Gerds.. But anxiety can make this happen also.. Thats the sad part anxiety can make everything worse.. You also stated your a hypochondriac.. Witch I am also.. Always fear the worse and that you have the worse wrong with you.. If I get a pain that don't go away in a few hours I am like OMG ITS CANCER LOL... You being only 18 its VERY rare for you to have a heart problem but when it comes to your chest take no chances. Go to your doctor just for peace of mind. I am 99.999% sure its nothing to bad lol but it will make you feel better after you are told that by someone who really knows what they are talking about lol..
Now What I think you should do is go to the store and buy some 150MG of Zantac its a bata blocker so it will block acids and it may help.. If in 30 minutes you feel better then you can be pretty darn sure its has to do with your tummy.
But still you should get a test for gerds and other NON-deadly tummy problems.. Anxiety and being a hypochondriac ALONE can make you feel 100 X's worse then you really do.. Its all mental, even if it feels very real. You may need to also talk to your doctor about some Anti-Anxiety meds.. I have been on them for years and they can really help. ALSO you should think about getting some Counseling.. Talking about your Anxiety and fears never hurts and sometimes can make the Anxiety less just to have someone to talk to!!..
You will be fine and take good care if yourself hun.. Go to the doctors and get peace of mind!

Without knowing hold old you are----could be GERD. Your esophagus can spasm, and cause pain in chest and back. Also, if you are refluxing, your throat would get sore. When in doubt, always call your doc, and if you think it could be your heart, go to ER.

Have your parents call the doctors exchange tonight to see what he wants you to do. If you are short of breath then you need to go to ER now. Kathy (I am a registered nurse)
