Heart attack rule?
If you are young and occasionally get sharp stabbing pains in your chest while breathing in that go away and have no other symptoms you should tell your doctor of course but also learn about Precordial Catch Syndrome
Precordial catch syndrome (PCS) is a non-serious condition in which there are sharp stabbing pains in the chest. These typically get worse with inhaling and occur within a small area. Spells of pain usually last less than a few minutes. Typically it begins at rest and other symptoms are absent.
Learning about this greatly reduced random anxiety for me. And it stops when you get old yay!
Ahh, so that’s what that is. I just thought my heart was telling me to do more cardio :P
Oh shit, those. It’s pretty rare that I get those, it’s maybe happened 5 or 6 times ever, but I happened to get one about a month ago after I went running for the first time in awhile. I guess those deep breaths triggered it.
It might be nothing but see a doctor. I’m young and healthy but turns out my heart genetics suck and I had dangerously high blood pressure.
A take two little pills a day and watch my sodium and no more heart pains are no longer an issue :)
I had a panic attack the other day because of this. I understood it was a panic attack pretty fast and got control of it within a couple minutes.
Fuck, man, you know when a meme just hits you in a way you aren’t expecting? This one just footballed my funny groin.
Like sudden, pounding heart palpitations!
No. 😠
Yes 😎
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
