heyy everyone.
i'm a 16 year old female and up until about 2 weeks ago, i was always pretty healthy and enjoyed a normal life. i'm 5'2, 116 pounds and i don't smoke or drink or abuse drugs.
i started having these really weird heart palpitations. what i mean is, i feel my heart beating in my chest ALL the time. even when i'm not thinking about it. and it feels like it's pounding way too hard and way too fast. when i look at my chest, i expect my heart to come jumping out any minute.
i'm suffering from extreme anxiety and worry, since i have NO idea what is wrong with me and/or what's making me feel so awful. i told my parents about it, and they said it's all in my mind and that i should just 'relax'. but i know for a fact that the problem i'm having is physical.
i've seen 2 doctors, one a regular family doctor and the other one a cardiologist. i had an EKG test and blood test performed by my first doctor, and the blood test was fine, but the EKG was abnormal. i'm not sure how much it was off, since they never talk to me, only my parents. so my doc prescribed atenolol for me. i take one little pill a day, but i don't think it's helping me at all.
saw the cardiologist the next day and had an EKG test done and an ultrasound. also a breathing test. results were also normal. also another blood test, which i'm still waiting for the results. blood pressure is normal. pulse is normal. i see him again in two weeks, but i feel like i'm dying. i get weaker and weaker each passing day and no one is doing anything to help me. but dad is leaving for 2 weeks, and he is the only one in my family with a liscence to drive and we only have 1 car. plus i live about an hour away from the hospital, so if anything happens, i'll probably die before i even get there. they just won't listen to me, i keep telling them how sick i am but they don't even listen! they get mad and start yelling at me! i have no way of getting any medical attention! all i want is someone to listen to me!
before all this started, i hadn't had my peroid for about 2-3 months. i'm not sure if that means anything. but i got my period last week (thank god!). symptoms that i am having NOW include:
-constant, heavy heartbeat (24/7)
-dry skin and brittle nails
-shortness of breath (sighing, yawning constantly)
-anxiety, stress, worry, fatigue
-irritability and depression
-chest pain and discomfort (pressure, tightness, ETC.)
-soar muscles/muscle pain
-intolerance to heat
-upset stomach
-cold hands and feet
-difficulty sleeping and eating and concentrating
-dry mouth
-irregular period
-losing alot more hair than usual
and NOW i'm starting to get flu/fever like symptoms that are:
-swollen throat glands
-yucky feeling in throat
-head pain and discomfort
my dad told me that my thyroid results were normal. so what the hell is wrong with me? a disease? virus? infection? i'm not getting any proper medical care at all! no one is helping me and my parents refuse to check me into a hospital. alot of times i think i'm actually gonna die. maybe they want me to die. every day gets harder and harder and i don't know how long i'm gonna last. PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN!!

I don't know about the guys, (guest and Raktim) but everything you are experiencing sounds just like me 3 years before I came down with Thyroid disease. An endocrinologist (Thyroid, diabetes and other internal auto-immune disease doctor) told me that anyone can experience symptoms of Thyroid disease (either hyper= too much or hypo= too little) up to 3 years before blood tests show it!! I have Grave's disease, a hyper-thy disease. I also had/have Fibromyalgia at the same time. Many experts say the two go together. Recently I've learned that gluten (wheat protein) can cause both diseases. Hope these clues lead you to an answer! You are too young for all this sickness!

I know that it's hard... I have the same problem, I feel the EXACT same way. I am about the same age... I am fourteen... I feel like there is something wrong with me too, and no one will believe me. My parents say that it's all in my head and all that you said. My parents don't believe me, and they always say they understand, but they don't... I know how you feel, I read your post, even if it was like a year ago, and I was like "HOLY, I'm not alone!" If you're still out there, I am here.

he main two hormones made by the thyroid gland are called thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), with T4 being produced in much greater quantities than T3.
