A member asked:
I just had a shooting pain near my heart area that lasted for about a second and felt a little bit uncomfortable for some time after, could this be a sign of a heart attack? i'm a healthy athlete so it seems unlikely but i'm not sure?

This pain is not from your heart. Typical heart pain occurs during activity and disappears with rest. The duration is usually several minutes. The reason is because exercise and stress demand an increase in the blood supply which the heart is unable to provide because of narrowed arteries. I would reassure you and continue to be active unless the pain with physical activity or emotion. Good luck.
