15 years of age. 154 pounds. 5 foot 5. Diagnosed with Crohns Disease at age 7. I get this feeling sometimes that feels like I have a lot of pressure on my chest, like my chest is tightening. I feel like o have to take very deep breaths to expand my lungs to get enough air. Last time my hands started to shake really bad. What is wrong with me?
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. Presence of Crohn's disease at young age (15 years) makes you stressed and anxious. Stress and anxiety can cause HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and this can cause chest pressure, tightness, pain etc. So better to 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.  Also take proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole for HERD. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
