Brief Answer:
Better to get done ecg.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should first get done ecg to rule out cardiac diseases because at your age of 63 years, chest pain should be evaluated first for heart diseases.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
Also get done vitamin b 12 level because your lip symptoms can be due to vitamin b 12 deficiency.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
