Brief Answer: Possible cardiac-vascular event... Detailed Answer: Hi, I have gone through your query carefully and understood your concerns. The symptoms you have experienced might be related to possible angina (cardio-vascular event). If I was your caring doctor will also ask to do stress test together with Ct-scan angiography to understand the status of your heart blood vessels. Furthermore, as you are consuming beer every week, I suggest stop drinking alcohol. I also advise to keep monitoring BP regularly and to avoid work overload. Trying to cope with stress is also highly suggested. Dr.Sejdini
