Sooo I’ve been having symptoms of a heart attacks for about 4 weeks now. I would get sharp pains in the center and left side of my chest, even fuzziness. I get sharp pains down both arms but mainly in the arm. Sometime the pain in my chest is a clenching feelings, it gets really tense. The pain even creeps up my neck in my lower jaw. Sometimes a even a stabbing sensation in my heart it’s weird but all of these symptoms last for a minute or less, or if I’m doing track or playing basketball but they all go away shortly after excertion. I’ve been to the hospital at least 6 times and Had most of these symptoms like hard to breathe, chest and arm pain. I’ve had a bunch of EKG, blood test, and chest X-rays. All of these test said I had absolutely nothing wrong. I kept having them and went back they ordered an ultra sound on my way. They said they couldn’t find anything wrong, everything was good! But I still experience all of these symptoms everyday thinking my life could end at any moment. Could it be heart related, or like a blood clot or clogged artery. They said they tested for clots and they couldn’t find none! They said it was anxiety but I have physical pain and they aren’t severe pains either. I’m a 17 year old male, I’m super active I play a bunch of basketball, I do track. I eat somewhat healthy but I have been eating a bunch of fast food lately. Please tell me what’s wrong with me!
Dont worry
If dr said u r fine then understand u r fine. Be calm. Its anxiety.
Hi kjajr,
Anxiety can be a scary thing! It sounds like you may have had some resent stuff that put pressure on you. I had my first anxiety attack in high school it felt like someone was squeezing my heart and everytime I tried to take a breathe it squeezed harder. The dr said it was anxiety and I thought I am in high school what do you have to be anxious about lol. It only happened one time in high school but I really trusted my doctor so the fear of it didn't set in. Try and trust the results you got and know that you are fine they are just symptoms from this scare and it will fade.
I’m actually thinking this isn’t Anxiety.. would you say before 4 weeks you had Anxiety?
if not .. being very active sports wise and young and all, you can easily pull any muscle in your chest cavity... and those nerve branches are all connected - yes up to the jaw and down the arm.
now saying both arms - I’m curious I’d you had any fall or hit, fall that jolted to the low part of your neck? Those nerves are arms and chest muscles as well.
you say you feel better after exertion... I’m not thinking exertion is the cure, but coincidence. I assume you didn’t have the pains when sitting and typing... but I’d you did I’m going with neck.
6 weeks to 8 is when any strain or pull heals ... slow down a spell until then and monitor it
It probably both the pain tiggers the anxiety but I don’t have flown blown attacks it’s just a constant worry that something is going to happen to me at any minute. It all started when I had a severe anxiety attack, which was over a month ago but I play a lot of basketball and track everyday. I remember smacking my back on the high jump bar and had a really bad cramp under my left shoulder blade. I don’t remember falling but it’s a very high possibly since I’m so active. I have horrible posture walking, sitting, and I sleep basically on the floor and couch everyday. So my back is horrible. I’ve been really scared you know about the pain and it happens everyday, I’m pretty sure if I had symptoms of heart attack everyday I would be dead. But Also my pinky and ring finger get numb and tingle a lot during the day along with the arm, chest, and back pain. If I move my neck to fast it hurts sometimes but I’m also stiff. But do you think it’s a nerve problem and just stiffness??? If I had a heart condition could I even be doing a bunch of sport and working out bc that’s when your heart works the hardest? I have all symptoms of a heart attack except for sweating and shortness of breath but when my chest and arm hurts I get scared so my heart races but that’s about it. I just really hope I don’t have a heart problem
