Ive had pain in my chest , arm , and knida the neck but no tinggly sensation in the fingers or uspset stomach.My breathings fine because i play basketball and it hasnt been a problem.I havent been to the doctors but im been thinking about it.But im just puting this out there to see if this is a surious problem or its just lack of water,sleep,or whatever................would really like to know Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

A 15-year old is very unlikely to have heart attack.

Based on your symptoms, we should exclude any cardiac arrhythmia (a disorder of cardiac rhythm and heart beat).

This can be done by an evaluation by a cardiologist, who may perform Holter monitoring to diagnose this condition.

Wishing you good health,
