well yes and no. are you under any pressure? you could be over weight/ under weight/ anxiety/ or nurvousness/ do you hve frequent headaches/nausea/or upset stomach/ double vision/ i dont think it is heart disease. probably an anxiety attack.
but i would go to the doctor and find out for sure.
but remember try to relax as often as you can.

Definitely go see a doctor. These could be signs of heart disease or symptoms of something else. Try to pay attention to when these happen, how often, how long. Are there any other symptoms you may be experiencing, even if they may seem unrelated, pay attention. You may want to keep a record on a piece of paper that you can take into your MD's office so you don't forget. These are all things you will want to discuss with your doctor so that he will be able to rule out all other conditions as well. Good luck to you.
Just an example of my own. Several years ago I started noticing I was experiencing heart palpitations, as well as not being able to draw in a full breath at times. This peaked my concern, but I didn't do anything about it, I just questioned friends. I was also experiencing other things that I thought were strange, or that I hadn't noticed before. From what I could tell none of it seemed related, so I wondered if I was just imagining some of these. I didn't really pay too much attention to them all, I just figured if there was something wrong the doctor would be able to find it and I wouldn't need to say anything (I guess like a dentist finds a cavity, know what I mean?) So when I would go in to the doctor for other things, I would never mention these "strange things". Eventually, things got worse, to the point I could no longer deny something was definitely not right, I felt like I was dying some type of strange slow death. I went to the doctor, he order several different blood tests. We discovered I was hypothyroid. I was put on a medication that I take daily, the dose was slowly adjusted over a period of time and I can not tell you how much better I feel. I don't experience any heart palpitations anymore, I can breath better as well as several other things have greatly improved. When I look back on all the time I was living in a "cloud", if I only would have know then to pay attention to all these different symptoms and how to ask my doctor for help.

Go to your doctor to get tests done immediately, because it sounds as if you may have a murmur (which can be harmless), or some other type of arrhythmia, which may be a sign of a serious cardiac problem. Also, the pain in the left hand radiating to your shoulder may be an indicator of a stroke to come. If your family history involves any of these diagnosises, or if you smoke and are overweight you may be at a greater risk for such complications.

The 'bump' is what we call 'palpitations' or being aware of your heartbeat. It is usually harmless, but it can be significant or meaning something, which a doctor should check you for. It would be good to see if there is a pattern such as timing or place, position, activity, etc. Your family history could be significant or helpful. The pain could be more important as 'angina' or a shortage of oxygen to your heart muscles. This is where 'nitro' can help, as well as prove or disprove angina by its effect. Your age count, as for women getting to mid-life, heart is the most important or leading cause of death. So good to check out if you can afford.

Chest pains are a demonstration of heart affliction, certain. out of your avatar, i'm guessing you're certainly lower than 25. till you've significant heart affliction on your spouse and youngsters, the percentages of you having heart affliction at a complicated adequate level to be feeling angina (the chest pains) are truly low. different indicators are tightness of the chest, soreness radiating down the arm, nausea, shortness of breath. What you're describing sounds extra like a panic attack than drawing close heart affliction. Panic assaults are treatable. communicate with a wellbeing care professional about this, although. Chest pains - inspite of the reason - are to not be taken gently.

Can be anxiety attacks, also could be heart attack..... don't take any chances dear.. you can't die of an anxiety attack, but the 'radiating pain' that you are describing does make me concerned about your heart. And ya can die from that and more women than men die from their first heart attack! AGE DOES NOT MATTER! I was 36 when I had a heart attack!
