Could This Me Signs Of Incoming Heart Attack?

396545385 I've been experiencing pain in my chest, very close to the heart area, left side of my chest..
This has been going on for atleast 3 months, but it wasn't as bad as it is now.
I'm 15 years old,i never smoked or anything, I'm not fat(114 pounds and 5' 6)
I know that i should go to the doctors to have it checked out, i told my dad countless times
but he keeps saying next week blah blah blah, then eventually forgets
so..just wondering what could this mean?,also i don't have breathing problems, sometimes i do but just when i lay down.

Thanks in advance.

    Jerry Goh - I don't know about that but i do know that if you have pain in your arm(i think the right arm) then it's a sign of a heart attack. But i wouldnt really worry about it too much because i'm very fit for my age and i sometimes get chest pains too. It could be that i used to be fat but who knows?

    you should be more firm with your dad :( get his attention and demand that he pay attention to your health and to stop dilly-dallying. I hope this helps! Good luck!

    Will Nickel - Ask your mother to take you to the doctor if your father is such a negligent jerk. Tell a grandparent, or tell your school nurse. Someone needs to see to it that you see a physician sooner rather than later.

    Mohammed - at uyr age a heart attack is very rare, and only occurs if morbid obesity is present, or congenital pathologies, i.e problems u were born with. from what you have described, it could be heart burn, or could be a congenital defect. If the pain worsens on excercise and exertion, then you should go and see a physician asap, as it could be a heart issue, but if the pain is associated to meal times, and worsens on spicy meals, then its probably heartburn and just get some over the counter antacids.

    however, u do seem very worried, and i believe in safe than sorry, so just get it checked out. go to a school nurse or something if u have to, but i wouldnt be worried bout heart attack

    hope u get well soon mate
