Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
68 years age and pain and prick sensation with hot flushes over part of body are suggestive of some heart problems ( not heart attacks).
2 km walk is not sufficient till it is very vigorous and hard.
Now from two days( 40 hours ) you are feeling spam ( pain).
Consult a physician and get in complete heart check up as advised by physician.
Hope I have answered your query.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
