Ok here is the story,

Im a shy person when it comes to school. I talk to my friends but I keep a lot to myself because that's just me. But last Tuesday I was sitting in class and I thought teacher was going to call on me about a question I didn't know. He was about to call on me but another student said the answer out loud. As that happened I got real nervous in my stomach that I gues the nervousness flew up to my heart/chest and it kind of hurts. Now my heart beats fast and sometimes I guess when I think about it it feels like my heart is compacting and it hurts sometimes and feels weird if I breath. I told my mom and she told me that it happeneds to her all the time and I'm thinking about it too much. I guess if I'm thinking about it too much it's going to feel weird and hurt?

What do you think? Please I'm really scared if I have anything serious!! This has been happening for 4 days now!!

It sounds like an anxiety or panic attack. Does your mom take meds for it?

Please see your doctor to get a professional diagnosis (I could be wrong, since I'm not a doctor) and advice as to what you can do about it.

My mom has a lot anxiety things going on. So it is probably just that. I have my yearly check up next month so I'll ask my doctor. Thanks!!

Is that what I said and what the link suggests to do?

The same thing happens to me, I'm very shy as well, and have a fear of talking in the classroom even though I never am shy in front of friends,but every time the professor calls on me ,my heart drops and it feels like I'm about to have a heart attach, but I just remember its not the end of the world and everyone gets nervous sometime, techniques that I try to help me with my nervousness and shyness is to develop an antidote. My antidote is chewing gum I know it may sound silly, but whenever I have a piece of gum in my mouth I am never shy or nervous and I feel mostly confident :)
