I have severe chest pain that radiates up to my neck on the slightest exertion now. it seems to be worse these days. I thought it might be my esophagus because it is more sever after I eat.

Do I need open heart surgery for this. I already had a heart attack 17 years ago, I'm on medication for HBP, etc. but the pain is worse in the last few months, seems since I had surgery last October for a hernia in my belly button the sizse of a baby's head. thankyou.

What does this pain feel like?

Does it radiate to your jaw or shoulder?

Have you seen a doctor about this pain?
