Help :(

[Worrywort321]

Am I having a heart attack or just panicking?? I've been having chest pains in and off all week and I was just sitting down when all of a sudden I got this sense of doom feeling and now I just feel weird and a bit sweaty. I'm only 17 and I'm healthy but I'm freaking out !!!

At your young age, I highly doubt you're having a heart attack, sweetie. Try to take big, deep, slow breaths to stop the rush of adrenaline. It's normal to have muscle twinges, but sometimes it can be scary and then we panic and it causes our muscles to tense and spasm especially in the upper torso (chest, upper back, ribs). It could even be indigestion from a late night snack. Hang in there! I'm almost positive you're just fine.

Best thing is to call emergency services and let a paramedic of doctor sort that out. Call right now.
