Is It Possible For A Child/teen To Have A Heart Attack ?
Is it possible for a child/teen to have a heart attack? I'm 13 and kinda chubby. About once or twice a day I get pains in my chest (heart area) that last anywhere from 5 seconds to half an hour. I'm freaking out a little, could my weight mean that I could have a heart attack?
