I started having chest pains and burping in august 2017. I had an ecg ,echo, thyroid test (liver and pancreas test also) All came normal. Doctor said its anxiety since I am preparing for competitive examination. My chest pains have reduced but my burping has not stop. And now since january 2018 I am having pain in my left arm that suddenly comes and goes. I am very paranoid and keep checking google for symptom of heart attack and stroke. I even measure my bp 2 times a day just to be sure. This has also started interfering in my studies and my parents are also very concerned as all doctor says I am fine. My weight has also reduced due to this and my father thinks that going to doctor would be to waist time. What to do?

Hello. Sorry to hear you feel like this. As you are only 18 years old, it is highly unlikely that you will have heart disease. The symptoms that you have described are not really specific for heart disease, and can be seen in acid reflux and in anxiety/panic attacks. I notice you have had some investigations done which as fortunately normal. Maybe you could get a treadmill test done. Please speak to your doctor about that. If you do well on the treadmill and there are no changes on the ECG, then it would hopefully reduce your worries about this. Hope this helps.
