Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Sudden onset chest pain, Heaviness in chest and shortness of breath are characteristic symptoms of coronary artery disease (CAD).
So better to consult cardiologist and then blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
Loose weight if you are obese.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
