I'm honestly not sure if it's my heart, anxiety, or gas...but I'm terrified it's my heart.
I've noticed, on and off for about a year or so, I've been having weird feelings.
First off, there's an occasional vibrating feeling in the center of my chest. It does't hurt, it's just a little weird and uncomfortable, and usually goes away after two seconds. Sometimes it comes back throughout the day, sometimes not. It tends to show up when I get very stressed.
When I check my pulse, I don't notice anything really off - my resting rate is 72 beats a minute.
Another thing I've started noticing is this weird...sorta bubble feeling in my left breast? It feels like a bubble is swelling up, and then...not popping, but just going away. It happens usually after I eat certain foods - I first noticed it after eating pizza fries at a convention, feel it sporadically after I eat lunch at work, and today I felt it after a day at the mall (movie popcorn, and chili fries at the food court).
I admit I don't eat the healthiest meal for my lunch at work - there's a burger place right inside the store, so for lunch I eat fast food, and have coffee with my breakfast. But I'm a few pounds underweight, I walk fifteen minutes to and from work and am a cashier in a fast-paced environment. The only known heart problem in my family is my grandfather having smaller/clogged arteries that he had corrected a few years ago.
My friends say it could just be the stress, but since these feelings are all in my chest and I eat junk food, I'm slowly becoming terrified it's my heart. I'm scared this is a sign that I'll have a heart attack.
Does anyone have these symptoms? I can't afford a cardiologist, and I'm scared something is going to happen to me.
