Although heart: disease is less likely in a young woman it certainly can be present. To fully evaluate your concerns you will need a thorough history, evaluation of risk factors and a physical exam. If necessary some testing could be involved to reassure you that all is OK. In the meantime, counseling or drug therapy may be beneficial. See your health care provider for this.
