Will The Pain In Pectoral Muscle Be Due To Potential Coronary Problem?
Good Day ! I am a 53 years old male, 1m79, 83kg, non-smoker (quit 10 years ago), eat healthily and follow a fairly regular exercise programme. Of late I have been experiencing mild stabbing pains in the left pectoral muscle when running, usually after 3-4km (out of 10). Is this a potential coronary problem ?

Yes of there is pain on left side of chest then there is chances of heat disease. I would suggest you to get ECG and 2 D echo test to confirm if there is any abnormality. You should also check your cholesterol level.
I would also recommend you to avoid sweet and carbohydrates in your diet. I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
