I'm currently 16 years old but I've been having chest pains that seems to be crushing my heart, shortness of breath, lightheadedness and sometimes numbness in my legs and hands, since I was on 5th grade of my elementary. And since now my symptoms seems to be worse it could go a full week having on and off symptoms. The pain usually is in the left side of my chest radiating to my left arm then to the back. I'm having a hard time catching my breath and i couldn't sleep. On 2017 I had a test (echocardiogram) the findings were said normal (I was okay that time) but i had mitral and tricuspid regurgitation which is MILD and said it's normal. I don't know what to do, or why I feel theses symptoms even if I'm not doing anything! Or sometimes due to exertion and if I'm too happy I get chest pains too. Do you have any idea what this is or what should I do? Is it really normal for 16 year old girl to experience this?

    Please keep in close contact with your doctor and parents. Don't leave the hospital without answers. It sounds like a little more than just stress.
