Rapid chest pains around heart

Hi
I am a 17 male and have recently had a lot of pressure around my heart. I can always feel it and its really annoyings. I also noticed i find it harder to breathe and am tired evan they i have slept for 8 hours. My heart feels like its pounding at time and just makes me feel terrible.

Thanks

I have an identical problem. Sometimes I'll feel like 3 or 4 sharp pains in my chest, during and after the episode I kinda get suddenly weak, then I feel tired the rest of the day like hung-over even though I'm not.
I describe it like a car almost stalling out. It's pretty scary when it happens, the first time it happened I thought I had a heart attack but I was only 24.
I made an appointment with the doctor right away. They ran a whole bunch of tests and hooked me up to an EKG. The tests came back normal.
The doctor said it might be anxiety and that they really can't tell what's happening unless I'm connected to an EKG when it happens.
They more or less told me there's nothing they can do about it nor do they know what's happening. The doctor seems to think that since I'm 24 there's nothing that COULD be happening.
I disagree, I have heard of people in their 20's and even younger having fatal heart attacks. I really wish I knew what the hell is going on!
have you found anything out?

Referring to your reference to a car stalling, can you elaborate? I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with me. This is how I feel, does anyone else feel this way? I was in bed and i turn over and my heart starts beating like its "trying" to beat but cant quiet get started. Its like you know how you have two parts to one heartbeat, the thump-thump, pause, thump-thump, pause... mine was more like thumpthumpthumpthump, no second contraction and like a car trying to sart like reer,reer,reer, or like a record when the dj goes back and forth.

Sound familar?

See an Electrophysiologist. They specialize in heart rhythms or rather the electrical signals that keep it regular and steady.
