Fk i wasthinking I'm too young to have a heart attack,

how old are you?

only 40

looking at his picture 50 odd at a guess ;-)

still younger than you m8

my mate had two heart attacks, one when he was 24 and one when he was 26

Don't envy you cia but glad you got a quick diagnosis.  I too have just been diagnosed with this and it absolutely mimics the symptoms of a heart attack though minus the tingling in the left arm, and is frightening and crippling - it is so difficult to breathe and move.  I have had these attacks for a number of years and been frightened for a long time especially as my Dad died of a heart attack.  It has previously been diagnosed as a panic attack and invariably severe indigestion.  I do suffer from these and acid reflux regularly in any case, and they have similar symptoms but are not the same and it is so difficult to get the right diagnosis despite acute descriptions of pain and effect.  I have read that there have been many cases where chest pain in men is examined and treated as being a possible heart attack from the outset but invariably with women severe indigestion is diagnosed first and yet, I believe, heart attack is responsible for the highest, or amongst the highest, killers of females in the UK. I have also read that heart attack symptoms can be slightly different in females but alas, I don't know the differences!  But whether you are male or female such pain is really frightening but fortunately Costochondritis is not life-threatening.  Look after your hearts as best you can, folks.

(Oh dear, Harmony is being serious yet again...)

yeah he's ok now, he's 28.

scary stuff, i went to see him in the cardio ward when he had the first one, was crazy, everyone else there mustve been 3x his age.

the story of how he had his first one was terryfying just to hear, let alone have it happen to you.

he doesnt really care that much though, still goes out and gets on it.

Big thumbs up for Cocodamol 

Have we had a Rate My Painkiller thread yet?

I vote for a good imagination

Mind over matter can be a good method of pain relief.

But sometimes you just can't beat a big pile of drugs.

An old school friend of mine had a heart attack at 19. You couldn't have picked a less likely candidate as he was one of the most fit and healthy people in our year. He since had another one and the only reason he's alive is because his parents are both doctors and were luckily able to revive him. He's since been fitted with a pacemaker.
