Today at work I was helping a customer at the Bank when I got a sharp stabbing pain in my chest. I also experienced tingling in my lips and my tongue. My whole body flushed and I couldn't speak or breathe. I was lightheaded as well. The sharp pains only lasted for a few moments but it was intense, not like the random sharp pains one experiences now and then. However the tingling and wierd feeling stayed with me throught the day. During the incident, I honestly thought I was having a heart attack, but I am a healthy active 23 year old. I know heart attacks in my age group are not unheard of, but I was/am still worried. Any suggestions? If you can reply to ****e-mail not allowed**** that would be great but I'll check here too. Thanks
this happens to me a lot. my dr. says it is anxiety. i've been to a cardiologist and my testing came back fine. i still have a hard time believing it though.
I have this happen a lot to me (even today, which is why I started searching online for answers), but I've narrowed it down to being related to certain foods I eat. I think it may be an allergic reaction to a certain type of flour (for me). Did you eat anything prior to this happening?
