Q: what could sharp heart pains and tingly hands and feet mean?

All Day long I have had sharp pains in my heart, tingly hands and feet too. It seems like when I rest, those feelings are less. When I stand to do chores...they seem to get worse. I don't have any more stress today than any other days, so I know it's not anxiety. I've dealt with anxiety for many years and know what that feels like. This is different. The pains are sharp and the tingling scares me.

Hi Shesahkeeper,

 

I encourage you to contact your physician for an evaluation.  There are many possibilities for the cause of your symptoms.  Here is a link to information on the signs of a heart attack specific to women.
