Brief Answer: Could you please elaborate Detailed Answer: Hi, I have thoroughly read your query & deeply understand your concern. Where do you get chest pain? Is it behind the sternum? Does the pain radiate to your left shoulder/jaw/arm? Do you have heaviness of the chest? Do you have any difficulty in breathing? Do you have sweating? Since how long and how frequently are you getting pain? Does the pain increase with exertion like walking or climbing stairs? When/how does the pain subside? Are you on any medication? Are you a smoker/alcoholic? Do you have family history of cardiovascular diseases? Please read these above questions and answer them completely.
