Possible heart attack..?

I'm pretty sure I could be having a heart attack.. I read online a while ago that women sometimes don't have any symptoms or the regular symptoms when they're having a heart attack. Today my heart has felt weird, I've had pains on the left side of my rib cage & a pain in my left jaw. I'm really terrified incase this is a heart attack. I'm only 23! My man always says the chances of me having one are very minimal because I'm young.

Also had heartburn lately which I don't normally have. The only time I've ever had heartburn is when I was pregnant. Could this be another symptom?

You are young to be having an attack but it may be worth getting it sorted out. Indigestion could be the cause and acidity. At least it will put your mnd at rest

If you were having a heart attack chick you wouldn't be writing on here you'd 100% know about it. Heart attacks are my main worry as recently 3 of my family members have suffered (luckily all survived) and any pain i get on the left in my arm, chest and even face makes me think heart attack but I've now learnt to realize that if i were then i wouldn't be walking about and i notice that i get the anxiety feeling in my diaphragm so i then click and think 'oooh hello Mr anxiety you're back again!' In regards to the heartburn I've had that for years and it's actually an anxiety symptom believe it or not! I hope you're feeling better today than when you wrote this post my lovely! x
