sometimes i feel as if my chest may burst. like i said before in the past i've had panic/anxiety attacks, although i haven't had any recently. now what bothers me is my chest above my heart tightens. it feels like someone has put something very heavy on my chest. once i had to go to the emergency because my pulse was very high. they said all the tests came back as normal, thats when the panic/anxiety attacks started and when my chest above my heart started tightening. i'm adopted and i don't know what my family history is. i'm just afraid that it could be something serious. i've told my parents about it and they've had to come pick me up from work because of it. they think its nothing serious, but from the way it sounds, i may have something wrong with my heart. i don't know what i should do. i'm afraid my parents would get mad at me for calling the doctor or the hospital. do you have any suggestions for me. thanks i appreciate it!
