I'm 19 - Fear Of Heart Attacks!

[JustBenn]

Hi,

I'm a 19 year old male, I have been worried all week something is going to happen to me, I have been eating too much oily foods this month!

And I sometimes get 1sec pains near the heart!

And when I stretched my arms back this morning, My heart/chest felt heavy and tight/felt like pressure ontop! with some light pains!

I was fat, then turned skinny by going to the gym, then gaining some back again!
I'm planning to lose some weight and eat less and eat healthy foods, but Is it too late? is the damage done?

I'm very scared about this! Never had these before

I don't know if it was a mini heart attack, or a strained muscle? Does anyone know what I just had?

I would say it was muscle pain. Try not to worry you are only young and uve done well to lose weight! I get chest pains alot and i eat very unhealthy. It worries me aswell, i really need to lose weight aswell, but dont worry i dont think ur pain is something wrng with ur heart x

Hi
The chance of a 19 year old male having a heart attack is so very low it isn't worth mentioning! Heart attacks are usually very painful and the pain certainly lasts a long time. Your fine, perhaps a pulled muscle at worst my friend. Stay calm and stay positive, you are honestly fine :-)
