Okay, this will probably be short, but I am worried so ...
For about half an hour I have had a pain in my chest. It was on my upper left side, and now although it's lessened it's sort of more towards the middle. My thoughts immediately went to a heart attack, so now I can feel sort of an odd sensation in my left arm and when I breather deeply I feel like my lungs aren't full... do you think it's brought on by anxiety, or could I actually be having a heart attack? I'm 15, not overweight, do exercise regularly, don't smoke drink etc., so I am in good health, but it's still possible right? Should I get it checked out or is it anxiety? Thanks

Not a heart attack. Calm down

Telling someone with anxiety to "calm down" is rather insulting, if we could calm down then we would not have anxiety.

More than likely it's from tension or possibly indigestion.

Doesn't sound like a heart attack to me - could be muscular or indigestion
