The symptoms you describe are typical for a heart attack in a woman. Woman will normally feel pain n the back rather the chest and mostly radiating to the jaw. The fact that it only lasted 15 mins is a good sign, but given the nature of your pain along with the timing, 4 am to 9 am is the most common time for a heart attack, I would be getting checked out.
I have been under a lot of stress, no question there. About a week ago out of nowhere and not having eaten I suddenly felt like I had a huge lump of something in my throat, felt lightheaded and odd and tingly and my jawbone started hurting like an absessed tooth....in a few minutes it started subsiding and after only another few minutes all was gone.
About two years ago I woke up in the middle of the night with great pain in my left arm and it felt like my throat was closing, It passed after about 10 mins. abot a month later I was walking up a hill checking out my hunting grounds before deer season cut a few branches and the pain was back buut much worse this time I laid on the ground for an hour in great pain until it passed again.
I recently had a heart attack and had a stent (LAD) put in. I have experienced pain in my left shoulder ever since the surgery. I have trouble discerning if this is related to a heart attack or to bursitis. I find it hard to articulate pain to the doctors. They recently gave me a nuclear stress test. Everything checked out well. I am going to have ultra sound test on my upper extremities tomorrow. Just today while taking a nap I felt this gurgling in my heart.
If you are concerned, have your parents take you to your doctor to be sure, but it is highly unlikely to have anything to do with your heart. Chest pain from your heart is a constant pressure like pain that radiates to your arm, back and throat. It does not change with movement or breathing or by being touched. Heart pains are not normally "on and off", they do not change.
Just to add. You say it can go on for about three hours. If this is due to the heart, I don't think you would experience it this long if eating is the cause. Once emptied from vomitting, the stomach calms down and requires less oxygen and the heart relaxes. I had this problem with my heart attacks. Everytime I ate something, within 5 mins I was sweating with pain in the chest and vomitting. It lasted about 15-20 mins and then stopped.

Last sunday while sitting in the boarding room waiting for my flight, I suddenly have a very bad pain in my chest, followed by pain in my throat and sharp pain in my teeth and also my head. It was so painful that my tears also come out. Few years back I ever did ecg test but the result is good. Few years back I also experienced a sudden change in heart beat. The heart beat suddenly very fast and normally i will not move myself until it back to normal. If i move i might collapse.
I had my first heart attack back in May this year which resulted in my having a stent fitted. I cannot shake off a continuing feeling of chest discomfort radiating to my throat and also accompanied by on/off nausea and dizzyness/light-headedness but no actual chest pain like the attack. Does anyone else have this? I have been blaming it on the cocktail of drugs that I am taking but dont know if this is correct. Can anyone advise?
Twice the same symptoms have come back, but not quite bad enough to go to the hospital. Dizzy, feeling like vomiting, major pain in the center of my chest, a lump in my throat, loss of appetite, quite gassy and after I start to come around I am exhausted. It has only happened during the day, and I don't believe I was stressed enough for this to be the cause. Please advise.
I spent a whole year on acid reflux medication before having a heart attack. I kept trying to explain that the throat discomfort I had was something I had never experienced in my 46 years of life, but unfortunately that didn't seem to matter. I too never suffered shortness of breath. The key though, was that the symptoms were always brought about by exertion or going out into cold weather. If I stood still, then the symptoms would go away within a few seconds.
