Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
I have chest pain when I lay down, it's not all the time. I am 48 and exercise regularly and don't experience it when I'm swimming.I have had 2 stress tests done in the last 6 years and the doctors have found nothing unusual. I do have moderate high blood pressure...could this be something minor?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Since you are hypertensive, we should definitely rule out cardiac chest pain at present despite of normal stress test in the past. So get done ecg. If ecg is normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So avoid swimming and exercise for few days. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these bit first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
