Q: Stress or heart attack ?

I'm 13, but I'm a serious hypochondriac. Just before finals were over I had a sudden panic attack. (This was about a month ago.) Even after finals ended I've been having constant symptoms that I worry about. I'm always thinking about death for no reason... basically, my life right now is a mess.

But today I suddenly had this weird feeling. My blood pressure's normal according to my doctor, but my left arm just went numb for no reason. Then my chest started feeling heavy and my jaw hurt. I looked them up and they are all telltale signs of a heart attack. My face also went red and hot. Of course my parents REFUSED to call anyone. It's gone away (besides my face) but my left arm feels slightly weak, and like I have to stretch it a lot.

I'm just wondering, what happened here? I mean, after typing this I realized it's unlikely that it's a heart attack but I want to know.
