For about 3 days now I have been feeling like an elephant is sitting on my chest, I have trouble breathing and My heart races fast. I don't think it can be heart attack as I'm only 15, But Im worried to know what is causing it. Can anyone help? It goes on and off, I have anxiety but Im not sure if its just that.

Hi Toria,
It could be related to anxiety. But it could indicate a cardiac problem or maybe something like asthma.
Are you feeling faint or lightheaded? How's your general health?
The problem is we can't know what is going on without an exam. You really should see your doctor. Just doing so should help reduce your anxiety level.
Good luck.
