Go to a doctor : At your age it's probably not a heart problem. However you need a work up to truly know the difference, so get to a doctor immediately.

Relax: In a 24 yr old you are not likely to be heart attack prone unless you are extremely obese or using drugs like Cocaine or have congenital heart disease. Panic attacks usually cause hyperventilation which you can control by breathing into a paper bag.

Check with your doc: Absolutely crucial to check with your doc about risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, family history and smoking. You are very young and this is probably a panic attack but better be safe.
