I'm 16 years old. i have been having chest pains and i feel my heart beating fast. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be anything: from anxiety to a heart condition to an overactive thyroid gland. Please let your parents (or guardian) know about this so they can get you to a doctor. All of these conditions are treatable & there's no sense in suffering in silence. Best wishes. Dr. Anne
