Yes, Most heart attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that bring blood and oxygen to the heart muscle). When blood cannot reach part of your heart, that area starves for oxygen. If the blockage continues long enough, cells in the affected area die... http://www.heart-attack.biz/heart-attack-risk.html

Not likely but possible . there are absolutely no age restrictions on these things. I have what is known as panic disorder and that can feel very much like one. I also have Supraventricular tacchycardia that feels even more so like one as it is an erratic heart rhythm. It can display all of the symptoms of a Heart attack chest pain ,jaw pain,tightness, profuse sweating ,nausea ,arm pain difficulty breathing etc..... i have recently had more difficulties and a long family history of heart disease. A 2 D echocardiogram was done and I am awaiting the results . Best of luck to you . I am betting that the liklihood is not but you can't be too cautious.

At 22, it is possible to have a heart attack, that is if someone is overweight,diabetic, has a history of high blood pressure and is fatigued. However, on what I observed heart attack does not last for days. Still, get medical attention because this may not be a heart attack but other heart/muscle illness that can still be prevented.

yes. just friday, the first high school game had a player on the opposing team had a heart attack. He was in high school, so im sure he was under 22. He didnt have any problems, or anything. he just did.

Yes. My father died at 22 as a matter of fact and had three heart attacks before he died. Being a diabetic and using heroin also contributed to his demise.

Of course, you've heard of all the college athletes that fall over dead of a heart attack.

Very unlikely, but it's possible. Are you sure it was a heart attack? it might be something else, but be mistaken for one.....
