I don't know why but suddenly my right arm kinda feels like its irritated from blood restriction. Like as though I had wrapped it with a bandage too tight. Well I haven't wrapped any part of my arm. And I'm only 18. I'll be honest. For one I am obese. Two I smoke. Three I don't eat healthy at all. And four I tend to panic over the slightest things and it turns out I'm feeling fine. But I'm scared I might be either having some kind of heart attack or that maybe my platelets are too high again and it's restricting blood flow. Either way I'm scared. What are your thoughts on this. I know I should go to the doctor and plan on scheduling an appointment tomorrow but for the time being. What should happen?

I think you should call a doctor instead of asking a bunch of singles what to do.

Best advice.

Side note.. if you know your unhealth or not too health rather on the right health track shouldn't you at least try and do something to turn these little things around, that is if you can.

Like drink more water,take a vitamin if you haven't been and can affored to that is. Also try to go for walks and eat a bit more healther if you can, I understand with these hard times it's a bit hard to do but you can at least try some small steps and go from there.

Good luck and as Writer_gurl said if anything get's worse go to the emergency room.

I'm in agreement with one of your responders. It's time to see a doctor. If nothing else, at least go to one of those blood pressure machines in the local pharmacy and test yourself. High blood pressure is nothing to muck around with.
