What Causes Depression And Anxiety?
Why do I feel a mild suction like feeling in the middle of my chest? I am a healthy 15 year old male that gets a lot of exercise everyday. But a few days ago, I felt that feeling in my chest. There are no other symptoms, and it doesn t affect me when I exercise. My anxiety has gotten worse ever since, and it s really bothering me. I drink a moderate amount of caffeine as well, so I don t know if thats a possible cause. I m going to my doctor tomorrow to see what s going on. I ve been extremely anxious these past few days and all that would help me, is reassurance from a doctor. Thank you!

Hi
How much caffeine do you take.Up to 400 milligrams (mg) of caffeine a day appears to be safe for most healthy adults. That's roughly the amount of caffeine in four cups of brewed coffee. It can cause anxiety and panic attacks. Reduce it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
