can i be heading towards a heart attack at 17
17/female
For the last 3 weeks ive had headaches from when i wake up and it lasts the entire day. I feel nauseas at least once a day. Im always tired and i get dizzy easily. I get out of breath quickly (usually i go to gym and i dont get out of breath but after 3 minutes on the bicyle i felt like i was gonna pass out). For about two days ive been getting weird pains especially by my feet as if my toe feels like its going numb and its sore.
Today i went to the beach and my back started paininh badly and now i have pains in the centre undet my boobs (i think its where the heart is). I googled it and i saw a picture about "how woman can tell if they're heading towards a heart attack" and all my symptoms was on the picture not one symptom i didnt have. Is it possible that i can get a heart attack? I drink a lot of redbull and lately ive been drinking coffee. Im not over weight or near to overweight my bmi is 20.1 which is normal.

I should pay the doctor a visit soon. Our cardiovascular systems do not come with a guarantee by any means. However, might I ask you something too? These symptoms are common when we suffer from acute stress and/or anxiety too. We tend to think of stress as a psychiatric/mental issue and the effect on the body is often overlooked. Just think about how a passing 'anxiety attack' can leave us dizzy, disoriented, with a tight chest pain and gasping for breath. And the fear that your heart is about to conk out will naturally ratchet-up your anxiety levels too. Are you feeling under constant pressure and strain because of home/work/personal/relationship issues? Be prepared for the doctor to ask you this and tell him the truth. And relay the same lifestyle details you have here. See the doctor soon, but go in with an open mind, not brandishing a self-diagnosed heart condition.

I have read stories of teen athletes where one who seemed healthy and ran, collapsed due to heart issues. It was discovered that they had a congenital heart problem they were born with that doesn't cause problems and show itself until the conditions are right. I also know of a family with twin boys where one day, one twin did not wake up. He died in his sleep. It was a congenital heart issue as was discovered in autopsy. These boys were not in sports as far as I know.
So I advise going to your Doctor and I would stop the exercising until you see a Dr. regarding your heart to make sure it is okay to proceed. If exercisng is what's causing the added stress to your heart, you don't want to take chances. get checked out first and see if its something else and based on Drs. recommendation, do only whatever exercise or diet change, etc that Dr. recommmends.
