Should I Be Concerned About This Chest Pain ?

Hi, I am 34 year old female. I get squeezing chest pain when lying down at night or after going up and down the stairs. It can last over an hour and the only thing I can do for relief is rest and wait it out. Should I be concerned about this pain ?

Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic forum
Yes you should be concerned and see a doctor as soon a possible. Your symptoms suggest that there may be a problem with the functioning of your heart, most probably a blockage in the blood vessels of your heart, which is causing low blood supply and therefore pain. So to have a confirm diagnosis & treatment you have to see a CARDIOLOGIST.

Takecare.

Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
