hi..this may be serious as it resembles pain of ischemic heart disease like myocardial infarction..so please visit a cardiologist..after his clearance, you can visit a psychiatrist for valuable advice..thanks..and remember, although you may have experienced past attacks, the causes may not be the same..and we should err on the wrong side..
