Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a small pain (lasts 1 sec or so) on my left side near the heart(not heart pain).This happens once a month(sometimes never)Today It happened 6 times during the day.I must tell you I'm overweight and I'm afraid of heart attack...(I'm only 24years old)Whats the problem?
After going through your query I understand your concern
I would like to tell you that a heart attack at your age is very unlikely until unless you have a strong cardiac family history and even your symptoms are not suggestive of any heart disease.
Its advisable for you to maintain a healthy weight and healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of heart attack in future.
Hopefully this has answered your query.
