What Is The Treatment For Irregular Heart Beat And Chest Discomfort?
The left side of my chest and armpit, aswell as my left arm has been hurting alot. i have had a tight pressure on my heart for a week and a half now. i feel as if i am having the beginning stages of a heart attack and have small panic attacks before SOMETIMES calming myself down. I have smoked and eaten weed for 3 years now and enjoy it alot, it makes me calm in my current life situations but every time i eat or smoke it the pain increases tenfold and my heart beat becomes extremely irregular. I would appreciate advice from an experienced doctor on if it is physiological, something to do with my pigeon chest or because of smoking, maybe a combination.

Hi,
At the age of just 18 years it is not the heart attack, the symptoms can be of same kind but the reason for that is anxiety and panic and not the pathological illness. The only option is to get an EKG done, just to clear the doubt.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
