text: heart pain? i get heart pain a few times a year. it is like "attacks" or "episodes" where my heart hearts extreeemly and i can feel it beating in my chest and it only lasts for about a minute but is painful. i do not know what this is- is this heart murmer or something else? i get that sometimes and it can just be anxiety.  i had to be placed on medication to help with the anxiety attacks.  these attacks can feel like your heart is caving in and the pain is unbearable.  you should see your dr. to followup  good luck
