Possible heart attack?

2017-04-04 00:50:38
To start off, I'd like you to know I have anxiety, anemia, and GERD. So recently I have been having chest pains, which are sometimes accompanied by upper back pain and shoulder pain. I'm afraid this might be a heart attack. I also have shortness of breath and feel lightheaded. I'm not sure if this is because of a heart problem or my anemia. Please help. I'm very scared.
