I was in my van and I was driving and it felt like my heart spazzed out. It wasn't painful but it was very uncomfortable and scarry. What happened? My heart does this every once in a while but on that day it lasted like for 6 seconds. I felt like I couldn't breathe. Afterwards I felt anxious and unable to calm down... I would like some answers.... I do not have insurance so I don't want to go to the doctor... what can I do?

A friend recently fainted. She seemed ok in a couple minutes, but went to the hospital any way. she spent 4 days in the hospital, and it was diagnosed a mild heart attack. Possible? No chest pain, just dizzy and passed out about 45 seconds.

For the last 3 months or so ive been really stressed out and Im 18 years old. Yesterday after running in gym class I noticed a pain sort of underneath my right breast and it kind of came and went and then I slept and today i woke up and didnt really feel the pain and then i stared to feel it later in the day and im on my schools poms squad and I started to feel it more there and right now Im at home and it just feels like a discomfort in my chest. The last time I was medically checked out was when I went to the doctors on January 10 and that was for pelvic pain and there they did a blood test and a CT scan so I don't think my heart is in any bad condition. My mom wont take me to the hospital because she thinks it is all stress. Am I having a heart attack? I am so scared right now.

I am a 53 y.o. female, I have not had a heart attack. I have high blood pressure and am slightly overweigth as well a a smoker. I do have a chronic lung problem (not COPD or asthma). I was in the hospital last week and saw the cardiologist on Monday. He put me on Lasix and potassium and said I may need to go back to the hospital if I don't start breathing better. I am bettter but still SOB. This is the second time in a year I have been in the hospital for this. My cath and ECHO are normal. I feel like I am staring death in the eyes and feel like I am not going to be here long. Any serious answers/advice besides quit smoking and lose weight.

Little history of today and the last month.
I had to call and reschedule my Nuclear heart testing today.*they closed anyway at noon do to road conditions*. I have had bad chest pains and numbing in my arms and my hand. My pulse rate keeps going to 110 and I swear it skips a little bit at times. When I went to the docs last week they scheduled the heart clinic and I went for first consult.

My Doctors office called with my cholestrol test at 9am. Now there closed to at noon by the way. Results 268, HDL-41, LDL-168,
Tri 297, They called to say they were giving me Lipitor and what place to send it to. Like it matters I cant get to it. lol

They told me to take the xanax as I needed. But they never told me to take the asprin at either visit. Should I take some? Could it hurt without knowing what exactly is going on with my heart yet? I just want to lower my pulse rate and help with the pains I have in my chest.

Calling the Er seems dumb for this. (Since Doc is closed)

I am 28 years old and have always have been in good health. Two months ago I started experiencing a flutter in my chest. It doesn't hurt, just makes me stop and notice. Over a period of a week, it happened at least five times a day. This went on for about three weeks. It stopped until last week, when it occured maybe three times. Today was an especially stressful day, and when I got home my right arm started to ache. Not painfully, but it feels tingly. Am I having a heart attack? If not, what else could be going on? I currently don't have health insurance, so I am very skeptical about going to a doctor. I have researched on the internet, and most of the data hasn't been too helpful.
