Comments on I seriously thought I was having a heart attack or something!

Go to Ok! I admit it, I have stretch marks! - Add a comment - Go to I seriously thought I was having a heart attack or something!

It might have been from the heat, mixed with stress/worry

I get heat flashes a lot when I'm outside in the sun for long periods of time (which for me is thirty minutes or longer) and I found out recently that it's because I'm photosensitive. My heartrate is fast a lot because I'm always stressed or worried about something, and I know that makes my heat attacks worse. Maybe you should ask your doctor about being photosensitive, or close to it.

Yup...

I'm gonna go to the doctor next week. I'm still not feeling quite right so I'm gonna check it out just in case.

Don't you think you had better check it out? Maybe go to a doctor?

RachelAnna,

Heart attacks can happen at any age.  You should probably have the dr. check you, just to be sure.  The longer you wait, the less they can do to repair damage if there is any.

I had an anxiety attack last Friday too, and it was a lot like that, only without the sweating.  Went to the ER and was really embarrassed, but I'm glad I went anyway.  You just never know.
