I Am 44 Year Old. Feeling Pain In Centre Of Chest. No Heart Or Blood Pressure Problem In Family. Any Suggestion?
Thanks for writing the query. I appreciate your health concern .
Considering your age and non significant family & your current history about present complaints, the chest pain looks like non cardiac - non heart related . Common causes are chest wall muscle related. In these cases simple over the counter pain killers help. Have you tried them? Did you get relief?
As a routine measure to rule out any hidden disease, considering your age & high BMI, I will definitely recommend you basic preventive heart check up like ECG, Lipid Profile & if required Stress test ( TMT ). This should be a part of your annual physicals, if you have not done yet for this year it should be right time. You can also have consultation of your local Physician after you get these tests done who can be cheaper than a Cardiologist.
It is right to start a regular habit of brisk walk exercise, diet management for weight loss, as this will further cut the risk factor towards Heart disease.
Do write in if you have any more issue to be discussed. Do write in after you undergo preventive check up and reports are available.
Wish you good Health .
Thanks
I'll try to find the funds to have the heart check up you mentioned and to try and lose more weight.
Thank you, again,
XXXXXXX
Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Wish you the very best
