Hi I am 21 years old. I have been experiencing a slight pain in my head all night that has now travelled through out my body. Its like a tingling sensation but when I try to rest or sleep it gets worse & my chest will start to hurt ( my heart area ) Its getting really uncomfortable and I dont know what to do. I have a cold but Ive never experienced anything like this before. I was thinking of going to the emergency department because its getting that bad for me to deal with. Any help would be great thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more. But better to rule out hypertension and heart diseases because headache and chest pain are common symptoms of these diseases. So get done ECG and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Uncontrolled stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
