Suggest Remedy For Chest Pains
Have had minor minor chest pain for the last three weeks. Just today it s gotten really really painful. Have an appt. with the doctor tomorrow. I am 48 and have a-fibs. The pain is in the back and chest and hurts when I breathe deep. Felt like I was going to pass out twice while driving. It started when I was lifting weights three weeks ago and last week when I lifted it hurt really bad so I stopped.

Hi,
Cardiac chest pain does not increase on breathing or change in position. Cardiac chest pain increase on exertion & decrease on rest.
So your pain doesn not look like a cardiac pain & seems more like muscle pain.
Passing out during driving could be because of decrease in heart rate or bp to a very low level. I will recommend you to get them both monitored.
Thanks
