I always feel pain in the upper left side of my chest as well as under my left armpit every time I get a little stressed out or have an anxiety. It's not unbearable but it bothers me a lot. I don't think I have any heart problem. I'm 22, 5'4 and 122 lbs. . Also, when someone startles me, I instantly get so angry..I can't control it. I don't know what's wrong with me. Please help.

    Hi You should get it checked out . The dr will probably do an ecg or make a referral for a Holter test which is continuous home ecg monitoring for approx. 24 to 48 hrs. This is nothing to worry abut just routine screening.

    Take care.

      Hi,

      Thanks.

      I already went to the doctor about a year ago but he didn't take it seriously. I should probably visit another doctor again soon.
