19 year old with pain/pressure in chest, neck and throat?!
Question: 19 year old with pain/pressure in chest, neck and throat!?
I'm pretty young so i was worried when i started feeling a heavy pressure and pain in my chest and neck/throat a couple months ago!. since then, ive experienced this about 3 or 4 times!. sometimes it feels like the sensation is also in the sides of my head!. when i bend over the pressure/pain greatly intensifies!. i wouldn't call the pain extreme, it's tolerable, but it is VERY uncomfortable!. its like im walking around with this intense pressure!. i work at a medical lab and i asked a physician assistant and she said its prob anxiety!. the past couple years i have been experiencing a lot of anxiety but the pressure doesnt come when im experiencing any stress or anxiety!. i always thought the anxiety i experienced was normal for a lot of teenage girls but if it's starting to manifest itself this way, i obviously have to do something before it progressively gets worse into full blown panic attacks!. ive recently been struggling with decisions about school/career, could this be why!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Absolutely!! It can creep up without you even realizing what is about to hit you!. That is what it sounds like to me too!. I would suggest talking to that P!.A!. for some Valium or other antianxiety medication!. It does not mean that you have to take it all the time!. It is a medication that you take when you start to feel this way and it does wonders for you!. It just relaxes you completely and those sensations will diminish!. Try it- you will feel better about it all!Www@Answer-Health@Com
