Did the same when I got to college and ate three packets of pop tarts for breakfast.
In my early twenties I started getting into the habit of eating a couple Pop-Tarts every morning for breakfas and began to notice Pop-Tarts were giving me pain in my heart. Literal pain in my heart. I've always been a healthy fit person, those Pop-Tart pains are the closest thing I've ever felt to a heart attack, and anyway that's how I stopped eating Pop-Tarts.
Probably heartburn or indigestion haha, someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure heart attacks and other related problems generally don't manifest themselves as pain localised around the heart's physical location?
I'm reminded of Paula Poundstone's routine on how she eats a box of Pop Tarts a day.
