Heart attack symptoms or what?
I know that only a doctor would be able to evaluate me, but I thought I would ask on here if anyone has had any of the same problems. Let me tell you a little about me first.
I'm a 25 year old female
over weight
smoke
suffer from panic attacks and anxiety disorder.
I've been to the Emergency room more times then I can count on my fingers for pretty much the same thing that I'm going through.
For the past few days in a row I have been experiencing left arm pain, right arm pain, jaw pain in both sides of face, neck pain, and back pain. The chest pain feels like almost a cramping feeling in the lower left side of chest. it comes and goes and only last a few seconds every time it hits me. Its not crushing or takes my breath away.. just kinda annoying. I know this could be due to the smoking as well. Last night I couldn't go to sleep because both legs were hurting me so bad! I couldn't hardly stand it! I'm scared that this could be a heart attack but I don't want to go back to the ER and just tell me everything is ok as they do all the time!!! I get embarrassed. I hope that this isn't... and ive read that you can have warning signs even weeks before a heart attack. also.. I do have family history of heart problems.. but none at a young age. advise??? anyone else go through this??? and I will not be taking this as medical advise.. I just think it might make me feel a little better. thanks so much. ( working on quitting smoking) just wanted to be honest ABOUT MYSELF.

Over smoking is the cause and caffeine, your blood vessels are squeezing so you are getting the above symptoms, you got to quit & do some physical for 1 hour daily (for rest of life), rest you are OK. Go to bed early, as you have family history to go cardiac. NOW OR NEVER to be simple.
Honesty is the best policy, so hereditary will go away once for all if you quit smoking & do physical.
