Rare: Heart attack pain is very rare in a young woman non-smoker. There are other conditions that can cause it however and it certainly merits evaluation soon. See your Primary Care this week if possible. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Chest Pain: Chest pain is really an umbrella term and all of us are scarred. Chest pain can be due to many reasons. In young patients less likely heart attack. To diagnose heart attack you need at least ECG then blood work and Echo. Please talk with your dic and get base line ECG. Do you have anxiety disorder? Panic attack? Reflex disease? Muscular pain or MVP can cause chest pain too. Hope this help. Thanks.
