Hello

When did this happen?

What is your blood pressure?

Are you overweight?

Any family history of heart disease or paralysis?

Thanks

ACCEPTED

Hello

The symptoms you have described can be due to a transient blockage in artery.Without certain tests,its difficult to diagnose whether this pain is of cardiac origin or not.

You need:

1. EKG

2. Stress EKG

3. Certain blood tests.

5.Take healthy diet, have stress free life style.

6. Avoid excessive salt & fried food.

Remember all type of chest pain should be checked & ruled out for a heart disease.

So I advice you to consult cardiologist for clinical examination.
