Having a Heart Attack? Posted: 04-26-08 12:39pm


I'm 16 years old, (17 in a few months) a male, 5ft 2in, and weigh around 95lbs. For the past two or so weeks I've been having random discomfort in my chest, arms, neck, and legs. The discomfort usually shifts around parts of my body each day. It doesn't hurt a lot but it gets in the way of activities. This discomfort doesn't go away but it's actually been permanent throughout the whole day. I have no medical history but my eating habits aren't exactly "good." I eat a lot of junk food like McDonald's, KFC, pizza, ect and I think that my eating habits may be catching up to me. I thought about seeing a doctor but I don't want to tell my mom something like "I think I'm going to have a heart attack, can I get it checked out?" because I don't want to put that kind of stress on her unless I know for sure it is. So what I'm asking is if these are all signs leading up to a heart attack?

Any chest pain or pressure, shortness of breath, pain that radiates down the arm, pain that radiates to the neck and jaw, heart burn? These are all signs of a heart attack. Your pain does not sound cardiac related. Tell your mom so she can get you to a doctor and find out what is happening with you.
