Hey Hollie, a girlfriend of mine jad went through that as a teen as well, she wa on medication for a short period of time and all is well. Have you been to your doctor yet? I actually thought I had that when I was younger, but it ended up being someting else, so go see your doctor or go to the ER if you feel that bad, they can do blood work to rule that out. See someone soon. Take Care.............
