What Causes Shooting Pain In My Heart?
So a couple nights ago i woke up in the middle of the night and had a shooting pain in my heart i couldnt breath in, yawn, move or even stand up straight without it hurting. Iwould get this sometimes but it would only last a few secs but that night it lasted for a little more then a half hour. I am only 17 and i didnt think it was a heart attack or anything but i wasnt sure if i should go get it checked out?

Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to musculoskeletal pain. Anxiety cannot be excluded either.
Anyway, considering your description of the pain, I would exclude any possible cardiac issues. So, there is no need to be afraid of any heart attack.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
