    Steph - I'm sure if you were having a heart attack you wouldn't have been able to go on yahoo answers, and ask if you were having a heart attack.
    Especially at age 13, unless you are obese, very unhealthy, or born with some sort of heart conditions... It's rare.
    Maybe you're just overworking yourself, and need to rest your body?

    K. G - Nope probably not, sounds like you pulled a muscle in your chest, it can cause all of that. Or you might be having a gallbladder attack....

    Corrine - I don't know, but get off webmd- it'll turn you into a hypochondriac. If you are truly experienceing chest pain and shortness of breath, call 911 right now. It could be a heart attack or asthma, but better safe that sorry.

    Char - No. When you have a heart attack you have chest pain and that's it.

    mark e - No youre probably not.
    A heart attack is caused by a failing of one side of the heart (sometimes cause by a blood clot)
    Thus both arms would not hurt (most of the time it is the left side, and hip/back on one side)
    you are too young to be suffering from a heart attack, unless you have suffered from heart problems in the past.
    The shortness in breath bit needs more details, do you suffer from this when actively moving, or stationary on a seat/ bed like object.
    I wouldnt be worrying about a heart attack.

    BUT you should definetaly see a doctor. If you ever suffer any of these symptoms you should see a doctor a.s.a.p. If your anything like me, when by body is worrying me and i feel as if i need to go to the doctor then there is something wrong with me (as i dont suffer often). REMEMBER anytime you worry about your health, go see a doctor emediately, better to be safe than sorry.

    Lauren - Ι think it's better seeing a doctor in person to answer this kind of questions
