I'm struggling
I'm a 17 year old male. 219 lbs, 5'11" (ive lost 20 pounds so far since december)
But a couple months ago I was just sitting on the couch and I had multiple heart palpitations, they weren't pleasant at all, and last for about a minute of here and there ones. I got really worried and being the dumbass I am I didn't say anything about it. I had a really shit sleep that night given the adrenaline.
But ever since that night, I've been hyper aware of my heart, mass googling at every sensation, wondering this wondering that. Now the main reason im so paranoid is that my Dad had a heart attack in his early 40s, and his dad the same before that a long time ago. So im obese, and I have a hereditary factor to this.
i've had multiple panic attacks. I get nervous, then heart starts racing, tight chest, and sometimes heart palpitations. Pure heart attack jet fuel. But I can get past them.
It was getting better these past few weeks just until recently. My left arm feels ever so faintly weak, and I just cant explain why. I have a painful spot on my chest that appeared the day of this post, but it only hurts within a centimeter radius, and only with certain movement.
So of course now im back on the paranoia train.
BUT, about 2 years ago, I was out in the sun washing the car with my dad and I had randomly fainted. Not long, i was out for maybe 5 seconds. No memory loss, nothing weird, just a scraped elbow. (i got lucky and didnt hit my head, was on pavement too.)
I was scheduled for appointments and tests given my dads heart history since they wanted to be safe. I had an ECG, EKG, Holter monitor, and a blood test down. EVERYTHING came back normal. But yet now, even with all of those reassurances from a few years back im still paranoid.
Could things have changed so drastically to the point where I'm likely to have a heart attack now?
