[QUOTE="Andy, post: 221096, member: 5096"] What if any medications are your son on? You stated he has deep anxiety and suffered fainting and chest pains. Last fall, my difficult child experienced a wide variety of complaints including chest pains (he never passed out). The doctor told us that these were most likely due to the anxiety. There is a term for these fake symptoms (real to experience but not physically dangerous). My difficult child felt like he could not get enough air to breath. Fortunately our doctor also knew that it was important to rule out the dangerous stuff and didn't just chalk it up to anxiety. As difficult child went through various tests to rule out or measure symptoms, he started to relax because he was finally getting help. It is very important to test all his symptoms to make sure nothing serious is going on but also keep in mind that anxiety does cause a lot of symptoms. My difficult child's therapist explained it as anxiety is a bully. It does anything it can to scare your difficult child. [/QUOTE]
