(14, Female)
I've been having very sharp, shooting pains in my chest latley. They come and go, but they bring alot of pain with them. I told my parents, and they said its probably from stress and because I drink several sodas a day.
I'm taking Gavistron and its helping. My dad said its most likley reflux, and to try to not worry about grades and friends so much for a bit to see if it helps.
But how do I stop worrying? How do I calm down? How do I get rid of stress! HELP!
.. and my hairs falling out ALOT latley, which the doctor said is due to stress.
Thanks!

when i'm exasperated and stressed, it helps me to go out and take a walk or bike. if it's too cold for you, then maybe head up to a local gym and just jog on the treadmill for a bit.

It was due to a stress/anxiety related heart problem, and the doctor says they are anxiety attacks. they put her on a prescription medicine and it has declined considerably. If you start to have attacks of any sort, see a doctor and they will give you the correct medicine. [ kaycilane's advice column | Ask kaycilane A Question ]

That probably could be the case.
And if it is..
You should relax and quit putting pressure on yourself, do something you love to do.
That will definetely make you feel better.
You should stop drinking soda to..
That is not gonna make you feel much better.
You should start drinking water more often.
