Well its not a heart attack as they initially feel just like the kind of indigestion you suffer after a Cancun tequila and nuclear grade chilli session
Start worrying when you get shooting pains down your left arm and feel like Hulk Hogan has you in a bear hug......then call 999

Could be a number of things including indegestion/heart burn etc.

Could be a case of pleuresy where you get a mild lung infection. I had this a while back and it felt like i was having a heart attack when ever I breathed hard which happened to coincide with exercise.

Get it checked out to be safe.

If its in your lung, and the pain is where you cant breathe in, yeah get that too once in a while, fooking painful and annoying it is too!

Soon seems to clear if you just breathe lightly. (Or take one really sharp fast deep breathe, make the fucker pop and be in agony for a few seconds!)
