I had a severe clenching feeling in my chest, no pain, but it felt like someone was squeezing my heart, and I couldn't move my hands. I could barely move my legs, and my breathing was quick and deep. I had the feeling like when your foot goes to sleep, only it was in my whole body, and it was 5 times more severe. I'm wondering if my heart stopped, and the blood stopped circulating. it was around 90-95 degrees when it happened today. My parents carried me into the shower and it cooled me down. I took a Tylenol and drank a glass of water and I felt ok, but still had a dull clenching in my chest, and felt a little shaky. It's about three hours after it happened and I still feel mildly shaky and jittery. I'm wondering if I had heat exhaustion, heat stroke, or something else. I don't see clenching chest feelings or stiffness of limbs anywhere online for symptoms of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. do I have something else? I'm a 14 year old male, about 120 lbs. thanks.
Well, a really bad and very unlikely diagnosis could be a heart attack, but for a 14 year old boy would be a stretch, you probably are dehydrated, but just in case you should see a doctor a.s.a.p.
dude call the doctor they sometimes give advice over the phone!
I agree with Baby G, you should definitely go to the hopital to be under doctor's care!!
darlin, go to the hospital
Hey I live in AZ and I have had a few times where I was suffering from heat exhaustion, its almost like you are about to pass out and you get sick to your stomach and dizzy … I have never experienced Chest discomfort or pain.. that does not sound like a heat related ailment…. I would get checked out. did you eat a good meal today? and what where you doing when this happened? I think you should really consider getting checked.. You are too young to have symptoms like this for no reason whatsoever.. Be careful otherwise …
