Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The solution is simple! – See an Internist / get yourself examined / at times, basic investigation may be necessary...
Your symptoms do NOT suggest heart attack / more likely Anxiety///
It is uncommon, but unknown to have heart attack at this age…It is generally due to rare inherited problems like familial dyslipidemia, congenital defects like Anomalous origin of coronary artery and so on
The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.

Good luck
Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
