I am presuming you are going through this mystical journey right along with the rest of us, huh?  Well, there is no set age or time for women, it's all according to each individual woman's body. For me, sometimes I feel miserable, other days I'm fine. My worst symptoms are frequent major headaches, change in body temperature and some mood swings. The "monthly visitor" hasn't completely stopped coming around but I can't wait till it happens.  Meanwhile, we all gotta cope......LOL

I had a bout of pleurisy that gave me similar symptoms. The symptoms can include:\nFever \nCough \nChills \nShortness of breath \nWeight loss \nPoor appetite \nSharp chest pain with breathing. Pain can limit the movement on the side of the chest with pleurisy. The pain can also be in the back around where the lungs are. \nRapid shallow breaths \nInability to take a deep breath \nItching in sites on the back (near the site of the lungs, but no visible rashes) \n\nSince the symptoms are similar to a heart attack, I urge you to see a doctor for evaluation. An EKG can rule out the heart attack pretty quickly.

The heart IS a muscle, but a heart attack isn't a cramp like you would get in say a leg muscle. \n A heart attack, also called a myocardial infarction, refers to the death of a certain segment of the heart muscle (myocardium).  It's usually the result of a complete blockage in one of the main coronary arteries or a branch which supplies oxygentated blood to the heart muscle.  The main cause of myocardial infarction is atherosclerosis (the build up of plaque on the inside of the blood vessels due to fat substances, cholesterol, calcium and other substances)  in the coronary arteries which results in impaired contractility of the heart muscle within seconds, and is initially restricted to the affected segment.\n\nThe myocardial ischemia or infarction begins in the endocardium (the inner lining of the heart) and spreads to the epicardium (the outer lining of the heart). Irreversible heart damage will occur if the blockage is complete for at least 15-20 minutes. Irreversible damage occurs maximally in the area at risk, and when the occlusion is maintained for 4-6 hours. Most of the damage occurs in the first 2-3 hours.  Restoration of flow within the first 4-5 hours is associated with salvage of the heart muscle, but the salvage is greater if flow is restored in the first 1-2 hours.\n\nA major determinant of death and illness is the size of the infarct. Increasing the oxygen supply to the involved site of blockage by coronary reperfusion can be done through use of certain medications and angioplasty, stents or artherectomy.\n\nAddendum: \n(Impaired contractility means a muscle is unable to contract the way it should or can't contract at all.)\n\nCramps:\nA muscle cramp is an involuntary, painful CONTRACTION of the muscles which produce a hard, bulging muscle. Muscle twitching, also called fasciculation is the result of spontaneous local muscle contractions that are involuntary. The muscle cramp usually only affects the individual muscle groups connected to a particular motor neuron.  Some common causes of cramps are:\n\nMuscle fatigue\nHeavy exercise \nDehydration \nPregnancy \nHeat Cramps\n\nThere may be some temporary loss of circulation to the muscle group that is cramped because of muscle contraction, but there is NO death of tissue due to a clot or embolus.  There are no clots or emboli involved in a cramp therefore they aren't the same as an infarction (as explained in the answer below).     :-)

Please NEVER take any chest pain lightly; it could be life-threatening.  That being said, the major signs of heart attack are for men, a crushing pressure on the chest, which may or may not be accompanied by pain radiating down the left arm, jaw, or shoulder.  Also, cardiac arrest can include the victim becoming unresponsive, fainting, stopping normal breathing, and loss of pulse.  \n\nI am not a doctor, but it seems to me as if this may not be heart-related, but once again, I reiterate that I am not a doctor.  I have heard of a condition where your sternum (the bone in the middle of the chest) becomes infected and inflammed, and causes great pain.\n\nRegardless of whether you have insurance or not; you have to get this checked out immediately.  Go to your nearest County Hospital (they usually care for people without insurance and can help you obtain state financial help), or go to the nearest ER, and tell them you are having chest pains.  They will see you right away, and have to treat you, whether you have insurance or not, because chest pains are considered a life-threatening emergency.  And then, when you get that huge bill, just pay whatever you can afford each month, even if it's only $5.00.  They can't report you for non-payment if you're making payments, you are in fact showing good faith.  Just make sure you send a certified letter to billing notifying them of your financial condition and ability to pay only *x* amount of dollars per month.\n\nHope you get help soon.........let us know.

It would be very unusual for a 19 y.o. to be having coronary problems.  You say your chest feels tight when you lie down at night.  I wonder if it isn't just chest wall pain from your workouts.  You say you get short of breath when you run, and you develop a pain in your lower left chest then.  I don't know how bad your shortness of breath is.  You can simply be short of breath running, because you are overweight or out of shape.  Chest pain of a heart attack or angina usually presents right in the middle of your chest as a pressure type pain, not off on the left side like you describe.  I would be more concerned about a valvular heart defect, than coronary disease.  Have you ever had a heart murmer?  I'd recommend you go and get a good physical.  He should listen to your heart carefully for any murmur.  He should get a chest xray and a resting EKG.  If there is any question of a murmur, I would get an echocardiogram.  The chest xray as well as the echo, together with the physical exam would make sure you got a normal size heart and no valve abnormalities.  The other thing he might want to get is a treadmill EKG, to see if when you have those symptoms running, there is any change in the EKG to indicate ischemia. You didn't say what your weight was. If you are overweight, I would recommend walking, rather than running, at least until you take off some pounds.
