Seek Help: You are too young to have a heart attack although not knowing your complete history along with family history, I would recommend seeing a cardiologist regarding your concerns.

I've had right-side/sternum chest discomfort for the past three days after a panic attack. I can't tell if it gets worse with movement, it's just a dull ache that makes me anxious which leads to my heart pounding. Nerves or possible costochondritis?
