A member asked:

Dry throat , uneasiness on left side of chest, can't sleep at all?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety?: Given your age, i would think that anxiety is the most likely cause. I would suggest a heart exam as some young people also have undetected congenital defects that might cause chest pain, but this wouldn't cause the other symptoms. What is stressing you? Talk to someone about it.
