Open Question: Heart attack at 22 years old?
I am 22 year old female with a history of heart disease in my family. I have been smoking on and off for 5 years (marijuana and cigarettes) I am thin and eat a somewhat healthy diet. I have anxiety attacks all the time but am doing well on the medication. I have burning chest pain when i have anxiety attacks and it usually passes within an hour. Sunday i had an intense pressure feeling in the center of my chest and i started to feel nauseus and that lasted all night and day until monday.(I took famotadine which did nothing so it wasnt heartburn) Today the pressure is gone but i have a constant squeezing pain near my left shoulder upper chest. I have been feeling dizzy and nauseus still. I just feel like something is not right. Ive felt dull tingling in my left arm periodically today. I know it is not anxiety b/c i have dealt with that for years and i know the feelings well. Im getting winded easily although im very athletic. Its getting worse as i write this and traveling down my left arm. I dont have health insurance so im hesitant to go to the er. Could i be having a heart attack. Even after 2 days? Or are heart attacks sudden? I need to know if i have to go to the er im afraid it will just be nothing , but im also afraid that it will be something. i feel like i wont know when it is real or not b/c of the previous anxiety episodes.
