Highly unlikely: This scenario is highly unlikely especially in a young man. You should have a physical exam to be sure you are healthy and then you have to realize that this is a psychological issue. Talking to therapist is a good idea and you should be able to figure out why you have these fears. Psychotherapy should be helpful in making them go away.

32yr old, repeatedly reassured by docs that my chest pains are muscle pain/panic attacks, not heart issues. Suggestions re: how to get past this fear?
Turned over in bed & noticed left in chest pain. Hesrt related or muscular? Having a heart attack is one of my biggest fears, please help. 20 yrs old.
When I lay on my back for long periods of time I get a sharp pain in my chest. The pain is mostly in my upper back section. I have insomnia and I fear it may have caused a heart complication. The pain is mild and goes away when I stand up. ?
If an ecg is normal, is it irrational to worry about your heart. having panic attacks and can't sleep due to worrying about my heart. No actual chest pains though. Just really bad anxiety and fear. Thank you?
Im 23 and I fear heart attack, Ive had ekgs, blood tests, and chest X-rays. I dont smoke I dont drink, I dont have family history. All those tests came back good and normal, I still get chest pain. What are my odds of having a heart attack?
