Can A 16 Year Old Get An Heart Attack ?

Can i have a heart attack at the age of 16? I m 16 years old and i have an anxiety disorder , ive had terribal panic attacks to the point where i went to the ER and had an EKG done twice and a cats scan checking for heart problems but every test they took came back normal and they told me i was as healthy as a horse. I felt pretty good for a week then all of the suddent my symptoms came back. I ve been getting bad chest pains, the chills, my left arms been hurting and tingling, i feel dizzy sometimes nd anxious, ive been getting a lot of indigestion , and sometimes my vision starts to get fuzzy. I m slender, 5 2, and weigh around 110 pounds. even though they took all those tests i m wondering if what i m feeling is signs of a heart attack or if i m prone to having a heart attack. i m very worried someone please answer as fast as possibal
