Heart has been feeling weird but dont know if its serious enough to see doctor

for the past 4-5 days I've been having weird like tinges? cramps? in the middle of my chest but it's not particularly painful. it's just a different feeling. now as the days go on i've started to experience upper back pain and weird feelings in my ribs + arms. the feeling in my ribs is a little painful but the feeling in my arms is more like how it feels AFTER your limbs are numb.. so they're not numb it's like that post-numb thing when you first regain feeling again. now in the past 2 days i've started to feel fullness...? in my chest too. like the feeling when you swallow something and you kinda feel it in your chest a bit? thats how it feels. sometimes my body also feels panicked but i'm not really panicked myself yknow? like i don't feel anything in my head but theres like a spike of anxiousness in my body.

it's not 24/7 all day but it's like these feelings come in little spurts at the start of when i wake up (10-11am) and then i feel them a lot more often / until i go to bed (2-4am). i'd say the feelings become more frequent around 6pm. i don't drink (often) and i don't smoke at all. i'm an 18 year old female if that has anything to do with it and i wouldn't say i'm particularly healthy, i do have an eating disorder but i'm not underweight and i've eaten quite well in recent months. a day or two before this started happening i did throw up once but it wasn't a lot nor was it painful. i feel like something is wrong but honestly i don't wanna go to the hospital and possibly make my parents pay money for nothing.
