  2. Kt Bartzis - If you are in the UK please call the NHS Direct hotline 0845 4647 and say it's urgent. If you throw up then call 999. Please make sure you're in the company of someone else in your house who can call the emergency services if you pass out.

    If it's not a heart attack, it could be a panic attack. Try to stay calm and breathe deeply.

  3. Vimin Raj - just rush to the nearest hospital . . it is unlikely to occur at your age . . But can ,
    Symptoms and signs - compressive pain at the centre of ur chest radiating to the left arm . . Jaw and to the right arm . . Associated palpitation, sweating , vomiting, pale eyes , breathlessness

    My advice , take a Sub lingual GTN tablet and put under your tongue if your condition is worsening

  4. Monira - the signs–but also remember: Even if you're not sure it's a heart attack, you should still have it checked out. Fast action can save lives-maybe your own.

    After you learn more about heart attack, try a brief quiz to see if you know what to do if you or someone else has warning signs.

  6. Dylan Pointon ™ - Stress/anxiety/depression can mimic Heart attack signs. Best to go to the hospital anyway

  8. John W - Those are also the symptoms of the Vasovagal Response, in other words, anxiety and stress. You did say you were 19 which means heart problems are very unlikely and under a lot of stress so common vasovagal responses are very likely. The throwing up is definitely more likely to be vasovagal then heart related, the vagal nerve controls your entire digestive tract.
