Hi, my name is Catherine, and for the past year I've been experiencing pressure/tightness in my chest. I'm not sure what's causing the problem though. As far as I know my grandmother had high blood pressure. She also suffered from a stroke. My other grandmother died of a heart attack and my father suffers from sharp chest pains all the time. I have sufferered with chest pain all my life, but I just recently figured out... when I stretch out my arms, it goes away. Now, I have this pressure/tightness in my chest which happens at all times, particular when I am getting up from rest. I'm 24 years old and exercise three-four times a week. I've never been rushed to the hospital for anything. It never bothers me when I exercise or do any other strenuous work with my body. However, I have also had dizzy spells and sharp pain in my neck and shoulder blades at different times with no other symptoms acccompanied. I'm starting to get a little worried as I look online for help. Can you help me?
