Really annoyed and worried
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hey all, so I've always had chest pain but it was on and off. For the past month, I've had chest pain all day everyday; this was even accompanied by rib pain from last week to now. I have OCD and anxiety and honestly struggle with health anxiety. I just had my session with the therapist yesterday and it went well and I left empowered. But later that night I randomly started feeling nauseous accompanied with stomach pain, closing of my throat, and shortness of breath. I went to the bathroom and after I had spit not cough, spit. And there was blood, so knowing myself I start to panic and I made an appointment with the doctor tmrw. There wasn't and isn't any cut on my gums that would cause bleeding. I had just regularly spit and there was a decent amount of blood. From then on I just kept spitting and coughing to see if there's any more blood and there was just a bit. Now today, the chest pain contineues and is actually worse when I take a deep breath. It's just a pain and tightness. Could anyone let me know what they think it is. And should I be scared? I'm 18 btw so I don't know why I'm getting these symptoms. Thanks!

Have you had any heart tests done? Or x rays? Even ct scans? I mean that could be a million different things, have you had any surgeries lately? Any recent travel? It could be a blood clot but if you haven't had surgery or long travels or immobilization than it's unlikely, could be Costochondritis which is often made worse by anxiety. There's so many things it could be by chest pains nothing to mess with at any age but heart related would be unlikely. It could also be GI related, ulcers and things of that nature just too many things.

Hey thanks for the reply. I have a cardiologist appointment in June so we'll swehiw that goes. My therapist, and psychiatrist both think it's anxiety but I'm always worrying if it's something undiscovered. I had costocondritus almost 2 and half years ago actually. But when I had it I had a very bad cough. Now it's just chest and rib pain with deep breaths and certain movements. And no recent travels or surgeries.
