Ok... Last night around 10 at night I had this weird fluttering feeling in my heart... about 5-10 minutes later I had extreamly sharp pains in my heart I had a hard time breathing... I felt really dizy and light headed... this pain contiud for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours... when I was finally taken into the hospital they did a bunch of test to see what was wrong... they all came back saying I was healthy... so what might this mean?

What kinds of test? Lightheadedness and dizziness are indicitive of atrial fib/flutter, or... panic attacks. I'm thinking if the tests came back negative on the heart, then it may be a panic attack. Which can mimic heart attack symptoms. Will the doctor order other tests to rule out the heart definitely? Did the doctor prescribe any medicines for you? This might help us see what the doctor thinks is wrong with you.
Good luck!

you all the test came back negative on the heart... from what I'm hearing... I think that's what it might have been... but they did a bunch they hooked me up to some mechines... took x-rays... tooks some blood samples... but no he didn't prescribe me anything he said if it happends again that they would most likely hook me up to a heart monitor for a couple days

I believe you just had a panic attack, sweetie. I got them all the time when I was your age and still get them every now and then at my age now, 22. Nothing even has to bring them on and suddenly your chest will tighthen, you can't breath and your get the sharp pains. It is normal and won't hurt you in any way. Have you been stressed lately because that can really contribute to them?
