Why does my chest feel heavy and I am getting a pain in my left shoulder? I am only 27?

Question

I am only 27 and having the symptoms of a heart attack??? For over a year now every now and then I get this tight feeling in my chest and sometimes a pain in my left shoulder. I feel nautious and have very shallow breathing. The main symptom is the uncomfortable tightness of my chest. I have used my inhaler on several occasions thinking this is my asthma coming back and it does nothing to help the discomfort. Everytime it happens it lasts for a longer period of time. I am able to be active when it happens but it seems to suck all of my energy out of me. I am on several different medications which I have been taking for over 3 years. At 1st I thought this was an allergic reaction but when it happened yesterday I had just gotten off work, ate nothing, drank water and was relaxing and watching a movie. I looked it up on the internet and basically my symptoms are those of a heart attack. Also been experiencing "restless leg synd." in arms and legs, mostly in arms???? Help!!!!!

Answer 1

Heart failure and strokes don't show up at any one age. (I had a stroke at 23.) Go to the hospital and have it checked. Then your mind can be at peace about it.
Good luck.

Answer 2

Your symptoms are similar to the adverse effects of an inhaler and aren't the typical cardiac symptoms for a female. See your doctor about this and please avoid making multiple postings of the same question.
