so i was just sitting and all of a sudden i have a big pain in my heart.  its kinda sharp,heavy feeling. like it feels like it's directly in the heart.  it's not heart burn cause when i get that it goes away right away.  this has been lasting for an hour.  and when i move my arms in anyways..even typing it makes my heart heart more.  and walking makes it hurt.  im scared :(  im home alone. its sunday night and doctors are closed.  what do u think this could be?  im too young to have a heart attack!!  i've had tiny minor pains in my heart every now and then before but it went away.  this isn't going away.  if it's still hurting tomorrow should i go to the doctors?  i hope i don't die :|

You can have a heart attack at ANY age.

Just more likely when you're older.

Go to the hospital now...

NOW.

You should go

The best choice would be to go to the ER now, just in case. And no, 21 isn't "too young" to have a heart attack. Have you tried taking any aspirin?

Fuck go now.

You should go to the doctor asap and get it checked. They'll scan you.

Young people operate with a false sense of invincibility but we're very vulnerable. I know a guy in his 20's who had a few strokes and the ER misdiagnosed it because of his age. My other friend's in his 20's as well and they thought he had a heart attack to recently. Get it checked to be safe.

yea, have your cell ready for 911, and go to the hospital

even if this is just some random pains and nothing to serious, better safe then sorry

You really should go.

I'd get it checked out as soon as possible!! And even if it stops, I'd still make an appointment, just to be safe and see if it can be prevented next time if it happens again. :) Good luck, I hope you don't die as well. That wouldn't be cool.

Bitch speaks the truth.

E.R. now, and take aspirin.

If it's hurting this much, call 911! Don't drive yourself.

Doctors aren't closed on Sundays? ER, it's a interesting thing.


-- Posted by newmie66 at 6:14 pm on July 5, 2009

It may be a big nothing but it's always better to go and get checked out. I would go to your local hospital.

Is your left arm hurting? If not, then its not a heart attack. Still, go see your doctor as soon as possible. You may have some heart issues that may lead to an attack later.

Dont even joke about that shit.
One of my best friends from highschool died last week because he had a heart attack. He was 21.

Don't listen to this uneducated 11 year old.

It's heart pains.

Vital organs.

Don't wait, go naoooooooo

I would get it checked out, but it's possible that you have air trapped in your diaphragm. I've gotten this feeling from that, although not for quite as long.
