Every morning i wake up with severe chest and stomach pains. It hurts really bad. No i don't drink or do any of that stuff. I also get migraines so bad. There are times it's so bad i feel like i'm going to pass out because of the pain. My heart always hurts really bad, and races faster then usual. I mean i'm only 18, but i know we have a huge family history of heart problems and stuff, but i just wanted to know if i'm at risk? and if so can it happen at a young age like this? or if that's not it, can you tell me what is wrong with me? Please.

Sounds more like a panic attack than a physical ailment, and at 18, you're highly unlikely to have heart problems regardless of your family's history.\n\nNevertheless, a trip to the doctor wouldn't be a bad idea at all.  Electrocardiograms are quick and painless, and not all that expensive either.\n\nBut since you're also having stomach pains and migranes, I would bet money that it's stress or anxiety.

I urge you in the strongest possible terms to have your symptoms investigated immediately.  I think the emergency room would be appropriate.\n\nYour kids need you, and you need your heart.  \n\nIf your problem is not a heart problem, well, great.  That will be good to know.  But please don't delay getting help.  Chest pain is not something to ignore.

<>You leave out a wealth of information, such as your age and medical history, but....While these are probably very benign pains associated with, say, exercise, muscular contractions, or even stress, any chest pain that bothers you is worthy of being checked.  I say go see a doctor and ask about them.  That way, you can have a clear conscience if he/she can explain them to you.

One symptom of a heart attack is that you can experience jaw pain which i suppose could go up to your teeth.  Considering your dad has a history of heart problems, he should probably get it checked out.  Best of luck!

The last time I got a severe chest pain was when I couldn't sustain it anymore. And it was immediately after getting flu and taking a course in antibiotics. Antibiotics really play havoc in my system. On top of that, I has just relocated to another city, another country and was still discovering palatable food. Ended up eating Spicy Thai green curry and later in the late evening had some lousy coffee with sweet snacks loaded with oil. \nAll this must have caused the super pain which I tried to withstand for 2 hours but I finally told myself only one thing: the antacids are not working, the garlic pearls aren't working, the \nonly thing for you to do, (which I've never done before) is get dressed, jump into a cab and leave for the emergency section of a private hospital.\nI was administered a whole bottle of 'something' liquid through my veins. In 5 minutes the pain was gone. \nI brought home pills and a chalky suspension solution and an attitude of 'money well spent'. You can imagine the amount I paid.

I used to have some really bad ones! 2 or 3 times a day! I really thought I was having a heart attack, it is really frightening!!! I had to take anxiety medication and now I only have them once in a while! You look like you might be having a depression, too much stress and maybe not enough sleep! Don't stay like that, you are not alone, seek help from your doctor!!

You must not worry about your BP as it seems just OK.  As far as your pulse is concerned, the cause of it being 90 could be an anxiety associated while the pulse is being counted by someone or even if you are doing it yourself.  Let someone else take your pulse when you are relaxing and free from anxiety of any sort.  \n\nYour chest pain could arise for various reasons and the most common ones being costo-chondritis (inflammation of the chest cage at the points where the ribs meet with the cartilages), a chest infection like pneumonia or pleurisy), or it may be related to heart or the pericardium.   The best thing would be that you consult your own doctor for it.  However, a simple test would determine whether it is because of the heart or the chest wall/lungs or the pleural coverings.  Try coughing.  If the pain worsens, the chances are that it is not because of the heart.  Good luck.

That could be a number of things. Both of my sisters had heart palpitations and it turned out they have a heart condition called mitrovalve prolapse. You should go to the doctor and get a complete physical and have them run some tests to rule out anything serious.

you should see your doctor to rule out something serious. They will make sure it's not your heart.

It could be leading up to a heart attack or you may be having an angina attac{something like an heart attack}. If I were you I'd go to the Emergency Room because that's nothing to be playing around with.

All right, here is the deal.  I don't usually tell people what to do on this forum, but let me warn you, the excessive intergestion in the setting of chest pain is a classic sign of an inferior (meaning lower part of the heart) heart attack.  Now this may just be heartburn as suggested above, but if you are having chest pain with lots of burping right now, you may want to go to the ER just to be safe, or at least call your doctor or a nurse to ask them what to do.

Yes you should find out the cause of these pains , then you can decide if you need to worry. If you dont find out the cause then I am going to worry. I have had several sucessful heart attacks, Angioplasty , and quadrupal Bipass Surgary . I am now 64 years old , my first heart attack was when I was 45 but I know many people who have had them when they were much younger. You should know that one of every three people who have heart attacks have little or no warning except sudden death. Dont worry ...Just do somthing!!!

Hey JJJ I looked up some info I hope this helps..\n\nChest Pains\nLots of things cause chest pains. How do you know if you should call 911? \n\nSome chest pains are minor problems such as muscle aches and gas bubbles. Others are more serious such as an inflammation of the lining of the heart or lungs, ulcers, gallbladder attack, acid reflux or blood clots to the lung. \n\nMost importantly, some pains can be the only warning sign of a life-threatening heart attack, where a few minutes can make the difference between life or death. \n\nHeart pains generally are located under the breastbone or across the upper chest. They may also go down either arm (not just the left arm), up to the neck or jaw, or through to the back. \n\nMost people describe heart pain as a deep pressure, ache, burning or squeezing. Some say it is like a belt tightening around their chest or a heavy brick laying on them. Rarely is heart pain sharp like a knife or excruciating like hitting your thumb with a hammer. \n\nOften heart pain is accompanied by other symptoms, most commonly profuse sweating, nausea, dizziness or difficulty breathing. \n\nHeart pains are often provoked or worsened by emotional stress or physical activity, but they can also come on when you are doing nothing more than reading or watching TV. They don't come and go in a few seconds, rather heart pains generally build up and go away over a minute or two. \n\nDonít goof around with chest pains. Stop doing whatever you are doing. Don't wait until morning to see if they will be better. You should call 911 immediately if you have unexplained chest pains that: \n\nLast more than 10-15 minutes. \nAre associated with difficulty breathing or dizziness. \n\n\nSharp pains in the heart, could it be caused by anxiety?\n\nAnd here is a link as well... http://www.breathing.com/articles/chest-pains.htm\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chest_pain\n\nI hope that helps... God Bless

Please have your heart checked out. I had the same symptoms and they told me in the ER it was indigestion. I had a heart attack.

YES...I have full blown panic disorder.  It is caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain chemistry.  My doctor gave me birth control for it because most of my panic attacks are from my raging hormones.  It does happen to me.  I am a hypocondriac, I have a little O.C.D, and I have Panic Dissorder. And yes, I was diagnosed with them. Trust me...the best thing to do about it is to learn how to tell yourself that the things that are going on in your head are NOT true.  Your not going to die, your heart is NOT in your throat, and you are NOT crazy.  I have to tell myself that every single day.  I have them in the morning and at night.  I feel like im dreaming durring the day too. I have not felt normal since I was about 13 and I am now 18.  Please do whatever you can to contact a doctor and get it under control before it gets worse. Best of luck you you...seriously
