Heart Pain -- PLEASE ANSWER ASAP SO I CAN STOP WORRYING ? Look -- I ve made many questions like this one, quite simply because, I m afraid and I don t want to die. Now I m going to say right now: Please do not post here if you are just looking for points or are going to tell me to get to the ER fast. My mom doesn t have enough money for a false alarm. Now, before answering, I m sure all of may information will not fit withen 1000 characters, so please read all of the additional details before answering. Thank you! First off, I am a 14-year old healthy male. Sunday night I felt some pain in my sternum at a party and I panicked. The pain moved to my heart later on at the party. Keep in mind, the pain is not a long drawn-out pain, but more of a random burst of pain that is not anywhere near as painful as a stab would be, but it s the fact that it s happening that counts. I slept fine that night, and experienced more random pains the next day. Slept fine, pain the next day, etc. Until today (Wednesday). PLEASE READ ADDITIONAL DETAILS!!! I noticed that while laying down playing video games I experience little or no pain at all, unlike frequent pain at school. Today I went to the doctor. My blood pressure is 112/80, and the doctor listened to my heart and back using a stethoscope with a blood-cell shaped clear part at the end (The part that touches me). Not sure, but this looks like it might be a good stethoscope which may have let the doctor hear my heart thoroughly... meaning maybe my heart IS fine? THE PAIN: Well, the pain as I said isn t much. I have no tingly arms, nausea , etc. The only thing I can think of is my shoulder hurts in a specific spot the soft spot on top of my shoulder that connects to my back. The pain feels brief and light, but could just be a pulled muscle or something? The doctor after checking my pulse, listening to my heart, etc. Says I could get an EKG in private... but wanted to talk to my mom in private. (At this point I was terrified -- I thought he was going to tell my mom I was about to die and not to tell me or I d have an instant heart attack or something!!!) But my mom told me afterwards that he told her that he didn t think there was any big deal and that I could get an EKG if i wanted -- Implying it was to humor me. Would the doctor really know just from listening to my heart if I was in trouble? WHAT THE DOCTOR DIDNT KNOW: About the pains in other areas such as soft spot in shoulder and a sore back (The back thing went away I think I was just uncomfortable...) If I had EKGs for anxiety attacks a few monthes ago, and the doctor just said today he thought I was fine, do i have any reason to worry? I did -- but it s not for two weeks. By then, I could be dead! I m really scared and just a second ago I felt my heart and the beat seemed to be paused a little between the bum-bum bum-bum like bum--- bum like it was struggling. Then I felt like I WAS having a heart attack but it was just an anxiety attack and Im not sure If I m going to or not until people can help answer me! :( SOMEONE ANSWER THIS SIDE QUESTION: Now my only current pain is a dull soreness around part of my pec that connects to my armpit/shoulder. Is this bad?
