What Causes Heart Pain With Stress?

I am a chain smoker for the last 35 years with thin physique. For the last few months I feel a pain in my heart occasionally. However this pain gets relieved when I used to have good diet and sometimes with the intake of milk. About a month back, I left smoking for a fortnight but I observed that the said pain occurred as usual. Due to work and domestic stress, I used to have sex almost every day. Please guide me.

Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern.

I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion.

You should know that heart pains have some characteristics.They usaly are retro-sternal pains like squizzing , tightness or heaviness. They may irradiate to both arms, neck and jaw. They last from 5 to 20 minutes. We suspect heart disease if we are in front of a patient whith risc factors like age over 45, hypertension, diabetes, smoker and whith hereditary history of cardiac disease.

Chest pains might have different causes like muscular, sceletic, neurotic or gastrointestinal.

So, if you explain pain that relives after consumption of milk this makes us thing of a gastric problem.

So, if I was the treating doctor I will recommend some examination like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo , a strees test, a thorax rx and a gastrohepatologyst consulting.

After all this we can better judge what we are dealling whith or if its just stress or neurotic pain that soon will disappear.

Hope I was helpfull..

Best regards, Dr.Ervina.
