Can you have a heart attack and not even know it???
I was visiting with a friend, and all of a sudden, I got a really hot, twinge, right in my chest, on the left side. I get twinges there a lot, every once in a while. Its like a muscle twitch, but it feels really really deep. It just comes on for a second or two then goes away. But today it was quite strong....it was a definite pang, and it felt really really hot.
I worried a little, but kept talking...but I was very very aware of it. I felt kinda hot all over, and a tiny bit panicky.
Could I have had a heart attack?
I have been worried about the twinges for a while now, probably 6 months or so. And I am going to go and talk to my doctor about it. But,...how likely is it something serious? I mean, it cant be anxiety, cause I dont feel anxious all the time, not nearly at all actually. And anxiety wouldnt cause me to keep having twinges. In the same spot. I must have like...a problem with an artery or something. I just feel deep down that there is soemthing wrong with my heart.
Please reassure me.
