I presume from your age you are postmenopausal and incidence of ischemic heart disease is more in women after attaining menopause .
So please visit a cardiologist and get evaluated with an EKG , ECHO,Stress test to rule out coronary artery disease .
Chest discomfort could be also due to other causes which can be resolved with lifestyle changes like losing weight , cutting down oily and spicy food , not smoking and not drinking alcohol and daily exercising and eating high fibre diet and having at least having 2-3 hrs gap between your dinner and going to sleep.
hope this helps
