For the past month I have been feeling a " flutter " sensation in the middle of my chest right above where my ribs end. It has only happened when i'm sitting down. I'm thirteen and i also sometimes experiance trobbing pain in my left shoulder area, it only stays for a couple seconds. ( could just be growing pains )
when i stand up i get light headed.
I dont drink caffine by the way.
could this be a proublem or am i just paraniod ?

It's probably nothing, but you should see a doctor. That's a little scary, but imagine not having to worry about it anymore once the doctor examines you and tells you it's nothing.

Please go to the doctor right away. While it's impossible to diagnose what ails you, here online, ANY disturbances from the heart area need to be dealt with ASAP. It could be something minor or, God forbid, something major. The fact that you get lightheaded when you stand CAN indicate a shortage of oxygen to the brain, the cause of which can only be found by a doctor. But don't get alarmed yet. Remember, 'fainting' is also caused by lack of O2 and it happens to many people every day. So in short, go see the doc!

It can be because you said you get light headed? Or maybe dizzy? Have you ever passed out ? If not the light headiness is good enough reason to be seen along with your other symptoms!! trust me, you need to be checked out in case there is something going on and you need to let your parents know right away !!

have your parent/s take you for a complete physical to rule out any problem
