Stress pains exist?


Question:
Im only 16 and Ive been to a doctor before for this. I get side pains a lot. Left side, under the breast just right under that rib. These pains sometimes go down my side and can lead into my back. Sometimes, but not as often, they are on my right side as well. The pain is increased with every breathe. When the pains occur it is often when Im thinking about something stressful, when something stressful is happening and so on. Rarely do they happen randomly.

The doctor, who I didnt trust since it was the first time i visited her and she also put me on pills that we not needed, told me it was a urine track infection. I truely didnt believe her. But this was also a year ago that I saw her, she said the pains would leave. They havent, gradually gotten worse they seem.

Just asking for advice to ease the pain, your thoughts on what the pain could be, anything would help me some.

Answers:
do the pains radiate between the ribs to the back or run down to the abdomen or to center of chest? if the first is true then most likely a little known disorder called inter-coastal neuralgia cause is hormone imbalance common in young developing females, which most will grow out of as the hormone levels balance, you can take a natural supplement such as black cohosh to help alleviate symptoms, if the second is true most likely anxiety attack which can mimic heart attack and shortness of breath if second is true schedule for complete check up!
I am not a doctor but your symptoms sound like an anxiety attack. Often people experiencing them have severe pains in their chest and are seen at hospital emergency rooms believing that they are having a heart attack. Just a suggestion that you may find helpful: Cut back or completely eliminate caffeine from your diet (or at the very least recognize when you consume it and how it relates to your symptoms). Caffeine increases anxiety.

More importantly...Please go back and see a doctor, if you do not have confidence in the first one you saw ask to see another one.
