Hi
Relax. Your description does NOT suggest a heart attack! - whatever the heart nay cause 'leg felt weak and numb' Heart attack is uncommon (not unknown) in young menstruating women - unless there are special reasons like blood vessel defect from birth, high fat, family history and so on
'For our own satisfaction as well as mine' - see a doctor; have a basic ECG. A friend is good, if she or he takes to a doctor!
Excess of anything is no good - even if it is tea! The caffeine has its own side effects that fit your description. Stop now; at least cut down
Use this as an opportunity to cut down weight, regular exercise, proper food habits etc.
Good luck

Your age is not of heart attack. these symptoms also occur in anxiety, depression and panic attacks. however to rule out any heart problem have an ECG as it cannot be neglected and try to involve your self in some activities. specially physical activities,
