Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Headache and cardiac chest pain (heartache) can be seen together in hypertension, heart failure, arrhythmia and other heart diseases.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo
4. Stress test (trade mill test)
5. Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg)
6. Coronary angiography (if required).
You may need cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of these reports.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
