What Causes Chest Discomfort On The Left Side?

Hi I ve been having short shocks in my chest, around my heart. It s happening in the top, middle area and on the left side of my chest. Sometimes it s in my arms too. When it happens it can last for about 5-25 seconds, and if feels like someone is tearing at my chest. It occurs a couple times every 3-5 months. In the middle of this shocking like feeling, I can t move. It feels like I m paralyzed, and I can t breath either. I m 13 and don t know what s happening, please help me.... I ve looked up lots information about these symptoms, and they all say that I m having a mini heart attack. I ve only told my mom a few times but she just ignores me and says I m fine, like nothing ever happened. I need actual help, if you can give it to me, please answer soon..!. VERY SOON!!!!!! :(

Hi,

I got your chief complaint. You need to get evaluated yourself as it can be due to ischaemic heart disease which csn radiate to arm and neck on the same side. Let me know if you feel breathlessness ever, if you have any other issue like neck pain, stomach dusorder. your feedback will help to address your problem. But overall I say you definitely need to get checked at ER room as soon as possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. SOHEEL HUSSAIN ZARGAR,
