Open Question: can teens have heart disease/problems?

July 31st, 2010 | by admin | Open Question: can teens have heart disease/problems?
i’m 18 and have always been really skinny but not necessarily healthy. i don’t drink, smoke, or party, and i eat… like an average teenager i guess. not a health freak but not a junkfood junkie; kinda in-between. but i’m not very active. and lately i’ve been having heart palpitations and sharp pains in my chest, constant headaches, and sometimes numb/tingly hands. my grandma had heart problems, but not until she was like 70. should i be worried? :\

Open Question: do i have a murmur? am i gonna die? xD?
Since i was like 8-10 yrs old (now im 18) ive been having this pain in my i dont know excatly if its actually my heart or the chest but i assume its the heart . i cant take deep breaths because it hurts alot . i have to take little and quick breaths . after a few seconds i just feel how it pops and everything is back to normal . it just happens randomly , like it can happen twice a week or even once a month . i went to the doctor like 2 yrs ago and he didnt find anything . i know i have to go to an specialist.cardiologist. but i dont really wanna make a big deal if its normal which undoubtely its not. any ideas
