I’m 18, Is Getting A Heart Attack Possible?
Wednesday
Sep 23, 2009
This morning woke up with a really bad back ache, and by noon I started getting chest pains, trouble breathing, almost as if I got air in my chest, like when one gets air in their stomach when they walk or run. Now the pain is in my back, chest , neck and a bit of my shoulders.
I really didn’t go any clinic, i’ve rested, but lying down makes it feel worst. I searched all over the internet and looking at chest pain and what it could be, and I do get a few of the symtoms of a heart attack.
I wanna get checked by tommorow, but I wanna know if its possible of getting a heart attack, or if my problem is just my nerves or stress.
Like I said im 18, weigh 110, always been healthy… untill recently been getting these pains and today the worst.

Heart attack….I doubt it; unless you use cocaine or something like it. Could be something as simple as your nerves (the nervous system is very complex). Could be a respiratory infection (do you have a fever or coughing up phlegm). There is a condition not uncommon in teenagers and young adult especially, known as spontaneious pneumothorax. More frequent in tall lanky males especially those that smoke. But I’ve seen it several times. Go to the doctor, especially if your short of breath. But first relax, even if it is that it’s easily treated!!!!! RELAX..take a gas ex and see how your doing in 1/2 if you can wait.

I think it is more likely that you could have pneumonia from your description of how you feel. You definetly need to go to the doctor 1st thing in the morning.

Yep, it’s possible. See your doctor. You may be having symptoms or you may be under a lot of stress. See you doctor just to confirm.
