Cause Of Chest Pain, Discomfort In Hand, Pain In Teeth?
I get a sharp pain in the chest near the heart, prior to this I may belch with wind, have a pain in my teeth and jaw and feel a sensation in my right hand and across the back of my neck/shoulders. I have nitrolingual if the pain gets too bad - angina. the Doc said I might have to undergo some test - what are these? I am extremely claustrophobic and cannot go into a MRI/CT Scaner - can you advise pls.

Chest pain may be due to angina.Your symptoms need proper evaluation.
You need clinical correlation and investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,lipid profile,urine RE/ME,Chest X-ray (PA view),ultrasound of abdomen,ECG in all leads,TMT,ECHO.
You may need angiography of coronary vessels.It is important to rule out obstruction in coronary vessels.CT angiography can be done.
Proper treatment depend upon findings.
