Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I understand your concern. Chest pain can be elicited by many origins. It can come from the coronary arteries, from linings within the rib cage, from lungs, the oesophagus, the stomach etc. Without further details, I would like to describe the angina. Angina (pain originated by blockages in coronary arteries) is more described like a heaviness or tenderness or squeezing sensation in the mid chest, rather than clear-cut pain. It then can spread to the jaw, left wing, shoulder and arm. This is more triggered by physical activity, but, when the blockage reaches critical measures and/or the atherosclerotic plaque is unstable, the it can happen in more frequent episodes, with less physical activity and, even, at rest. Furthermore, angina is the way of the heart to scream for help because it is not getting enough oxygen and nutrient supply. This kind of pain, if it is angina, happening at rest, demands a coronary angiogram, to quantitatively assess the possible blockage within the coronary artery, and to plan a strategy for treating it (with stents, merely medication or coronary artery bypass grafting). After carefully assessing and discerning about what kind of pain is this, and if it would sound like angina to me, I would also recommend a coronary angiogram as soon as possible. Of course, we only give recommendations. The choice is up to you. Good luck. I hope I was helpful with my answer. Take care. Kind regards, Dr. Meriton
