Q: what heart problem is that? Myocardiac Infraction, Left sided heart Failure or stress? I am a 20 y/o college student, a while ago as I was rushing towards my classroom to take the semi-finals as I was sitting down, I started to feel a toleratable amount of pain in my left chest, then my left arm kinda suddenly got tired... and there was also a toleratable vague amount of pain in my left middle finger. I tried to sit errect bec I thought I was just tired from running and just needed to breath air. I just put pressure on the left side of my chest with my index and middle finger. It's midnight... I don't wanna disturb my parents about this, they are already going thru lots of financial problems. So Is this M.I. or just stress??? someone said stress can mimic M.I., and i am a very worrisome person... I just need an idea. Additional Details 5 minutes ago there was also a vague (not exactly pain) but like a tired feeling, that went beneath my left shoulder blade.
A: I would say go to the hospital. Yes,stress can mimic an MI but you don't want to take the chance. GO QUICKLY!!!! Before any damage is done, better be safe than sorry! Good Luck!
