Hey, 

I'm really sorry to hear what your going through, especially with it being in your teens, however I can completely sympathise almost as I was 22 (I'm now 24) when I was first diagnosed with anxiety. Never had anything of the sort & all of a sudden I just got chest pain, couldn't breath and went straight into panic mode. I even phoned myself a ambulance! Trust me your not alone. I pretty much had every anxiety symptoms going and still suffer with it now from time to time. It's just learning what triggers your anxiety and dealing with it. Everyone's anxiety is different, however I'm like you and every time I'm sick or I get a funny pain it = in 'IM DIEING' - just breathe - your not DIEING, you have to tell yourself you can't die from anxiety! 

Anxiety is a bitch - it wants you to fail and play games with you. Don't let it. Remember to stay away from caffeinated drinks, smoking and alcohol as all of these will make your anxiety 3 x as worse. 

Remember your not alone and just to out your mind at rest in total now I've phoned myself 2 ambulances, and can't even keep count how many times I've gone to the emergency room. It's just learning to deal with it, you can do it. 

Have someone close to air it out on, don't bottle it up, talk about it. Try and get a good sleeping pattern going to (you'll benefit from a nice amount of sleep a night) AGAIN - I know this is easier said than done. 

Remember his site is full of people going through the same thing as you. Comment and someone will always write back. It's good to talk, compare and relate with other people. I've found as well that any new symptoms you get, just go to your GP just to set your mind at ease as well as keeping your GP in the loop.

Anxiety is a bitch but stay strong! 

Good luck. 

Crying makes it worse if you try not tocry and keep your self busy physically the symptoms will reduce

Are in any kind of therapy to help you sort this through? Hard by yourself. Its way better then trips to ER and cheaper. And if possible can you get into a yoga class. One that meets a couple of times a week. It would really teach you a lot about your body and how to calm it.

You are not alone. I'm going through the same thing. Being a single parent and recent widow does not help matters much. I'm only in my 30's. I pray we both get relief soon!!

Thank you so much to everyone!!! Glad to know I'm not alone it's just so bad right now I had a complete freak out over chest pain that's been occurring all day I just took pain medicine but I'm still SO SO SCARED!! does anyone have any tips to help calm myself down ? Thank you so much for your replies!!
