Open Question: strange chest symptoms?
So like every four months, I would get these strange symptoms where first I would feel my heart start acting funny (I can’t really describe it; it’s almost as if it skips a beat or maybe I can just feel the beats a lot more or something I have no idea… for now let’s just call it heart pain), and my head starts pounding, and then it gets hard to breathe and I get really dizzy. Then it’s gone! All of this happens in less than four or five seconds.
But lately for about the past week it’s been doing it several times a day! I don’t notice any kind of pattern.. sometimes it happens when I’m just sitting down resting watching a movie, sometimes it happens when I running around at work.. I have no idea what it could be.
I am a 17-year-old female, and my family has no huge heart issues except that my mom has a heart murmur, but it doesn’t give her any trouble.
Any ideas on what it is? Thanks!
oh and I almost forgot.. I have scoliosis that gives me shoulder/arm pains, but I don’t think would affect your heart like this, would it?

Open Question: What is this sharp pain my my chest and shoulder?
I have a sharp pain over my left lung in the lower left side back, my heart, and goes into my left inside shoulder. It lasted for a few hours, and the pain got pretty intense to the point it was taking my breath away. It got worse when I took a breath, laughed, or coughed. and then I went to sleep and woke up and it hasn’t hurt in about two weeks. I don’t smoke, drink, do any drugs. I havn’t had any injury’s, or had any trauma. But since its went away, I havn’t seen a Dr.
Lupus and breast cancer runs in my family. So does heart disease. But If I had one of those wouldn’t I still have the symptoms?
