Being a college student, I have a pretty unhealthy lifestyle.
I eat fast food almost everyday, I smoke, party too hard, am constantly stressed.
Lately, I've been getting knots/pangs in my heart. Usually after
I eat, but sometimes randomly. It's not that painful, but it's uncomfortable at times.
THe pain is pretty isolated. I hope it is just heartburn, but
am really scared it is something worse, like heart disease.
Especially since I smoke. I've been smoking about a half a
pack a day lately for the past year and am trying to quit.
Hopefully, I am overreacting.
