A member asked:
I've been having chest pains randomly for about a week and i've been to the er twice. ekg and x-ray showed normal. low potassium.is heart attack likely?

Probably not: A heart attack without major risk factors at 19 is rare - low potassium is not necessarily normal - make sure that any of your medications couldn't be affecting your potassium - are you having any reflux symptoms ?
