Chest pain, family history of heart disease, but young?
can anyone give me an ideas here, or your own experiences i'm 29, have 2 young kids since i was 17 i get chest pain, usually a stabbing or aching on my left side near the middle, under the breast bone. it gets worse when i breathe in sometimes, and others when i breathe out, and often i can feel the pain in my back as well. it usual lasts a few mins, and on a bad day may reoccur several times. but today i have that feeling but it's been going on for HOURS. i find i m better sitting up or leaning foreward, and it doesn t always hurt when i breathe in, but does if I am lying down. it hurts more all around if i m lying down. i find this pain is typically worse if I am tired, which I am today. but throughout the day I keep feeling worse, too. now I am short of breath ever so slightly and i feel weak in the legs, and a little nauseous. The trouble is that i m also someone who does get anxiety attacks, so it s hard to say which symptoms are of that, which may be just due to lack of sleep and which are serious symtoms. has anyone had this and what could it be though it doesn t present full heart attack symptoms i have to say my grandfather has a ton of heart problems, triple bipass surgery, and a bunch of other stuff, my mom had a heart attack at the age of 47, and my grandmother on my dad s side had a heart attack, so it it running down both sides of my family. should i be worried thew pain in the chest is only a 6 out of 10 today but it s just odd it s going on so long with the presence of these other symptoms.

I need quick help! I have some heart disease symptoms?
30 minutes ago, I started to feel short of breath. I thought I was tired cause it's 1 am in the morning. So I layed down on my bed, but I started to get uncomfortable stuffyness from my chest. Still short on breath, I just ignored it and tried to go to sleep, but I felt super nauseous so I had to get up. Then I was just staring at the wall, and I realized that it's hard to explain if i just stared at the wall, i would stop breathing, and i would have to tell my lungs to breath, because usually us humans just breath on our own unless we actually tell them to stop. Then I almost puked in the bathroom, and my dad made me tea so I feel like 5 % better. I searched up and I have some heart disease symtoms. I'm 13.

Sixteen year old female with heart disease?
I'm sixteen years old and I'm a female , I'm very overweight. Six months ago I went to the ER for chest pains and they did a EKG and everything was normal . My doctor thinks that I am fine , and so does my family. My blood pressure goes up sometimes , usually just the top number but the bottom number has been up a couple times. Sometimes my heart speeds up for no reason and the slows back down. I can feel my heart beating , and I was having paplations everyday but they are actually getting better I haven't had them for two days and I thank God for that . The chest pain that I have had over the months comes with burping and it's up in my throat. I know it sounds like acid reflux but I was on anti acids the first time I had chest pain , and this pain happened before I ate anything. So I really think I have heart disease. blocked arteries
