Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

A heart attack would be an exceptional diagnosis considering your young age.

In my opinion, your symptoms could be related to a panic attack.

Nevertheless, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes in order to be sure that everything is OK.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
