for the last 2-3 days, my heart has been
acting weird. I feel like at any moment,
I'm about to have a heart attack.
My left arm currently feels cold, it's
tingling and I have very slight pain in
it. I have been having the tingling
sensation and coldness in it for about 2-3
days on and off.
I'm also finding it difficult to breathe
and have a weird pressure feeling in my
back just below my shoulder.
I currently don't have any heart pain, but
I have been having slight stabbing pain on
and off for the last 2-3 days.
Is this a heart attack? I'm really scared.
I would go to the doctor but it's 1 am
here (I have a very bad sleeping schedule)
and obviously, they're not open at this
time. My only other option is the hospital
but I'd have to phone for an ambulance as
I can't get there any other way. I worry I
may be wasting their time if this turns
out to be nothing. It also means waking my
mum, who's very easily worried and I don't
want to worry her.
I'm only 18 and very very scared. Should I
go to the hospital or am I just being
paranoid?
If this was a heart attack, would it have
lasted on and off for 3 days like this?
Apart from these symptoms, I feel fine.
What's wrong with me?!

I dont think its a heart attack.
I think your symptoms would be a hell of
alot more extreme. But you could just be
suffering some anxiety/stress? I get the
arm thing, although not tingling, but
tingling is common anxiety symptom... but
it goes very cold.
Try to relax, and hopefully your doc can
give you better answers!

Hi Posted: 09-01-07 17:51pm
Sounds more like panic attacks and
Anxiety...........are you under a lot of
stress? Family history of heart disease or
problems? My husbands father was only 26
years oldwhen he had a heart attack and
died.....my husband was only 11 months
old, he never knew his dad........you are
young, but if yo uare exerpeinceing
anything like this thats scarry, its worth
the time and $ to have it looked into!
Good luck Sweetie

I have had that same problem and rushed to
the er and turn out to be just anxiety
attacks. Which the more nervous you get
can make it worse But if it has been
happening for 2-3 days i dont think its a
heart attack. If you get a crushing pain
in the center of your chest and it
radiates up to your jaw or upper shoulders
then you need to get medical help. Try to
relax and breathe in deeply and exhaling
slowly. Put your mind on something else
and see if the symtoms subcide.

mind over matter, you get scared and maybe
tell yourself you are having a heart
problem, and you suddenly have all the
symptom. if your a nervous person that
could be it.
