Chest pain/pressure question?

Hi .

About 1 year ago I was taking some hydroxycut to help lose some weight , I didn't need to lose a lot just the eterneal allure of the perfect body .

about 5 days after taking the recomended dose I got the feel of pressure on my chest and some pain , since I play a lot of tennis I tough maybe it was muscular , but I immediately stopped taking that crap , the chest pains went away .

I didn't immediately go to the hospital because of lack of medical insurance I was afraid I would end up with a 500k bill and maybe it was just muscular.

My question is , was I having a mild hearth attack ? I have continued playing tennis and doing other sports just fine and doing a lot of other activities and I feel fine .

Is there a sure way to tell if you are having a hearth attack ?

Should I get my hearth checked just in case when I get medical insurance , or I should be fine ?

Thanks in advance.

and last advice:don't take any of that weight losing crap .

BTW I.m 32 years old.

    A couple of points:

    1) I dont think you were having a heart attack.

    2) I agree weight loss supplements are not doing your system any favours.

    3) If you are having a myocardial infarction or unilateral heart failure, you'll usually have severe pain, shortness of breath and a metallic taste in your mouth.

    4) Get it checked up on anyway because it could save your life.
