I'm 21, female, have been doing well on the panic front, used to have ectopic beats and worries about heart attacks but haven't been to the doctor for about 8 months. Feeling good. Had echo/treadmill test etc of my heart about a year ago. All good.
Also been doing a lot of rowing, competitively. I play a fair amount of sport/train 45 mins on the rowing machine regularly and do high intensity stuff occasionally.
Today I was going to play squash with my friend.
We had to jog to the bus stop and for some reason I felt a sharp pain in my chest directly above my heart, it was in a small area and disappeared when I stopped running.
Played squash for an hour. All fine. Bit dizzy half way through but hadn't eaten a lot today/drank enough water but it quickly passed.
On the way home we decided to race to our house. Again, running quite fast from walking pace and the pain happened again. Above heart, disappeared quickly when stopped running. (Ran for about 20s in total).
Freaking out now. Just tried to run again outside on my own to test and the exact same thing happened.
I am so so scared right now. I have sprinted/ran before. I have felt pain before in the chest area but not so repeatable with running. Why suddenly today!???
