Hi, im an 18 year old female I weigh about 160, my mother & sister has high blood pressure, other than that no family heart issues/attacks. For the past 4 days my left arm (upper) and my left coller bone has been aching, I wouldn't say pain.. its more like pulling a muscle feeling and also my left side of my neck, it can really feel it if I lean forward.
Were you able to have this checked by your doctor? Indeed, female heart attack symptoms can look very different than those of men. Aside from the chest pressure or discomfort men experience, women may have symptoms of shortness of breath, unexplained fatigue, or pressure in the lower chest, easily mistaken for a stomach ailment or gastrointestinal illness. Take care always and do keep us posted.

I am a 47 year old female, family history of heart attack. I have been on bp meds for 5 years. I have not been feeling well for a few months. My BP fluctuates - it is better after taking my bp med Lysoprine. Last night I had a spell and my legs were shaky, clammy, sweaty, and nauseous. then I yawned uncontrollably for 10-15 minutes. My neck became sore and stiff. The feeling passed, but a Blood pressure check a couple of hours later revealed 180/109. I checked it 3 times.
Rushed myself to the ER and had blod pressure. EKG, Blood Work, Chest X-Ray, ECG and Stress Test. All show negative towards heart attack and normal. They labled this anxiety although I had no stress in my life. The next week couple of weeks I had heart palpitations. I wore a loop recorder for a week and found nothing. Then the third week after being discharged I felt my body having pins and needles feeling for one week at night only and have muscle tremor and jerks.
You should get it checked out, I doubt if it's cardiac in nature as pain related to your heart don't usually persist over many days or weeks, but better to be safe. Ask your doctor about costochondritis, it is an inflammation of the joints where your ribs meet your sternum and can cause the symptoms you describe. It can come on with a virus or injury or just by laying or bending the wrong way. It's worth mentioning, but do get checked out to be safe.
I did some research and found an anxiety attack, can mimick a heart attack,is the intense pain in the chest that lends itself to a heart attack.it is as if a vise is closing around the chest. The other symptoms are pain in the left arm and pain even in the neck area to raised pulse, sweating and dizziness these all can be an anxiety attack as well. But the pain in the chest like a steel band is being tightened seems to be the deciding factor that speaks of a heart attack.
For example, if the patient is a young female without risk factors (i.e. no smoking, no diabetes, no high cholesterol, and no family history) the probability of a chest pain to be a heart attack is very low and stress, anxiety or anguish. In contrast, a male >65 yo and multiple risk factors, a new chest pain will have a moderate to high probability to be a heart attack.
Ever since two years ago, I've had palpitations and irregular heart rythms that doctors ruled out as stress for being a highschool student. However this year was a little different, my heart symptoms got a little worse causing me to feel dizzy, short of breath, and even have feelings of blacking out. I went to a physician who took an EKG and a holter monitor. The results came back as a slight irregularity in my heart.
Both of my hands had sharp shooting pain & numbness all th way to the middle of my forearm. It lasted the whole night & it was difficult to sleep by the next morning it was still hurting & it finally went away about two hours after I had awaken. Shortly sfter my heart began to flutter often. It's actually starting to frightn me now as it flutters more often now. I smoke cigarettes & I am in the process of quitting.
If you're gay or lesbian and had a heart attack at a young age plz reply. I'm scared and angry.
hello Anna,
Above all else, you should at least talk to your doctor about what happened. In the meantime, I can at least tell you a few things. You said you were having a severe constipation episode; when a person strains he is giving himself what is called a Valsalva response in the body. For a few seconds the heart stops beating and then when it resumes, sometimes you will feel strong heartbeats, sometimes the rate will be a bit faster than normal until it regulates itself back to the norm.
s been getting worse and I have read more than once that these are all symptoms that precede a heart attack in women. I am almost 23 5'9 142Lbs, and I have a pretty bad diet honestly. But there is also a high rate of heart disease on both sides of my family. My great grandmother died at 51 from a massive heart attack, as did her son. My grandfather had a quadruple bypass before he was 50, my mom has had mild heart attacks.
I'm a 14 year old guy. I've been having heart attack symptoms for days. A dull pain in the front of my left shoulder and dull squeezing pain in my left bicep (happens separately most of the time). I also have a lighter dull pain on the left side of my neck. I have some chest pain a little to the left of the center, more caused by squeezing my arms together and flexing my pecs.
The left side of my body (including face and ear muscles) have a "weak" sensation.
I am a 29 year old female. I don't smoke (any more), I don't drink caffeine (any more), and I consume absolutely no artificial sweeteners or soda (any more). I've suffered off and on with panic and anxiety for about 9 years.
This past October, I started having panic attacks again, and they all felt like a heart attack. I had random pains in my chest and under my sternum. My arms hurt and my jaw sometimes feels tight.
