A member asked:
Is there a distinct way to tell different between heart attack and chest just hurting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A doctor can do tests to tell the difference, but there is no way for you to tell the difference by yourself. However, at 27 you would be VERY young to be having a heart attack unless you do drugs.
