Hyperventilation: A teenager with shortness of breath and midepigastrict sense of "pressure on the stomach" might be suffering from hyperventilation and excessive mental distress. Ptsd & panic attacks have symptoms simiar to these. A doctor is needed to rule out other causes like an overactive thyroid & gastritis. Firstly, the person's guardian needs to be informed.
