Hey guys, I hope everyone is ok.
Last night I had a terrifying experience. First let me start off by saying that I have really bad reflux and I kind of went overboard ysterday with my friends.
They came over and we ordered a bunch of chines food and junk food usually makes my reflux act up. A few hours before i went to bed, I decided to do a little bit of exercise so I was lifting weights and i did some stretches as well as some sit-ups. Before bed, I drank a cup of black tea with milk and went to bed.
I was restless and couldn't sleep until 2am but right before I fell asleep, I felt this tight squeezing pain on my left chest(like above my heart). The pain lasted like 3-5 seconds but it scared the crap out of me. It didn't spread to my arms or jaw and I wasn't dizzy or out of breath at all. I instantly jolted out of bed and then my heart began racing for about 3 minutes before returning to normal.
I realize that the fright of the pain made me panic so that's why my heart began racing but what the hell was the pain about?
I'm really scared guys. What made it worse was that I saw a program about people who eat junk food cause them to have heart disease and now i'm worried I have heart disease and I'm only 20 years old. I tested my blood pressure yesterday before the incident and it was 124/76 and hr was 90.
Please can anyone tell me if they had this pain beofore. Im so scared right now. I had a full heart check up about six months ago that included a echo, 5 ecgs and 2 chest xrays. Also, countless blood work.
Please tell me I didn't have a heart attack.
