Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi!

I am a 21 year old. I have been experiencing severe pain in my chest for a year now. I do smoke and i am in stress. I have been depressed for almost 4-5 months. 

I googled my symptoms and CAD was the most likely to meet them. What is the problem?

    Hello,

    You are very young to have such worries and stress,  I hope someone will reply to you soon.   I am new here myself and still learning but I wonder if you have been to the doctor since you say you have had the pain for a year now.    He will surely advise you but I feel sure he will tell you to stop smoking.   No-one on this site should be smoking,    You are only 21,  you can get back your health,  please start looking after yourself.    First give up smoking for the good of your health,  there are Stop Smoking clinics and other help available.   Eat sensibly and try to get some exercise,  walking is excellent.    Share your worries with the doctor.  Read something on building up your confidence.

    Good luck.

    Kind regards,

    Kathleen

      Hello, 

      Thank you Kathleen. But I haven't gone to consult any doctor. Infact I have not talked to my family about this. I don't want to go to a doctor and I don't know the reason behind it 😢😢😢😢. I stopped smoking for almost 9 months but then i started again because i was frustrated.
