I m 15 years old and I m struggling to sleep. These past few days I ve been struggling with my sleeping, breathing and getting really bad chest pains. I m to scared to fall asleep because of how bad it gets when I close my eyes. I checked my pulse and in 1 min it hit 59, is that normal?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion your symptoms are mostly due to anxiety and tension. Bit we need to rule out other causes first. Breathlessness and chest pain especially in night can be seen most commonly in1. Cardiac diseases like valvular heart disease.2. Pulmonary diseases like asthma. So I advise you to get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac causes. Get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out asthma. If everything above is normal than your symptoms are mostly due to stress and anxiety. So avoid stress. Be relax and calm.
