Question on sleep apnea?!


Question: Question on sleep apnea!?
Im 15 and for 3 days i have been feeling odd!.
I cant run or excercise bcause my heart rate jumps and i need air!. I feel nauseas at times, and have trouble sleeping!.
when trying to sleep, just as i doze off, i suddenly wake up, gasping for air, with this nervouse feeling and clutching my chest!.

During the day though, my chest has some short periods of discomfort, not pain, just tightness that i feel the need to rub at!.
When im doing something to keep myself busy i feel fine, so it could be anxiety!?

Could this be sleep apnea, asthma, anxiety, or heart attack!.
If its sleep apnea why would i feel so tired and worn out during the day, and does sleep apnea affect ur chest during the day!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Sleep apnea would be unusual in a 15 year old, unless you are morbidly obese!. It could definitely be anxiety!. Do you have a history of asthma or reactive airway disease!? When do you get the sensation of chest discomfort!? Is it after exercise or exposure to something in particular!?

Try to pay attention to the circumstances around you when you are experiencing symptoms (i!.e!., after eating, exercise, etc!.) Also, be aware of how you are feeling emotionally at the time (afraid, relaxed, etc!.) It might be helpful to keep a journal to record your observations!. That way, you might find a pattern that you weren't aware of!.

If you are truly having severe, unrelieved chest pain, go to the emergency department!. If not, keep your journal and make an appointment with your doctor for a physical exam!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like it could asthma!. I have asthma and have similiar symptoms!. Sometimes when my symptoms are bad I am not able to sleep and it also makes your chest feel tight!. I would suggest going to see your doctor as soon as you can, the sooner the betterWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds exactly like apnea, except I don't think it normally starts suddenly; see your docter it can kill you!. Obviously still see them if its anything else too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
