MI or panic: It could be a heart attack or myocardial infarction, but more likely a panic attack. Check with your pcp, but an antidepressant ssri, like prozac, zoloft, (sertraline) or Celexa could help treat if it is a panic attack.

1st of all: Quit smoking- your young, but if symptoms persist, see pcp - don't wait.
