Dear Dina,
Thanks for the query. Although not impossible, coronary heart disease is very rare in young adults like yourself and a basic screening by your doctor may be all you need to rule out this possibility; there are some conditions like panic disorders that are real, very real, and can cause symptoms like the ones you describe. Cognitive behavioral therapy and certain medications can help. You could look into this possibility with your doctor.
Hope this helps, wish you the best,
