Hi
Having another major panic! Jokingly yesterday my mum said to me its not any of thet things you think you have that will kill you, but you'l have a heart attack panicing. Well every now and again, usually when Im in bed lying down and move I occassionally get a sharpish pain under my left breast (where my heart is argh!!!). This is not after ive just eaten so doubt its indigestion (and im not a big eater). Im panicing because I dont have the best diet in the world and probs dont do enough exercise, though im not overweight (but know this doesnt mean im fit lol). Plus I do get myself worked up panicing every so often, which probs isnt good I know (Im resolving to try and stop this!)
Has anyone had this? or think it is a casuse for concern? Went to docs twice last week over different things so dont really want to bother them again so soon, pain isnt agony, and tends to be when I breathe deeply or when I move as oppose to when lying still, tho is ocassionally when im still. Could it be angina at my age could it?? Im 26 and female. I dont think it feels like muscular pain, nor do I have panic attacks or feel paniced at the actual time.
My dad and grandmother both have high blood pressure/cholesterol and have been told this is not all lifestyle based i.e. its hereditary so there is a family history relaed to the heart, my grandmother had a few heart attacks in her 50s. Neither of them have angina though or had anything diagnosed at my age. I dont smoke but I do drink alcohol.
