Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Actually that isn t that rare of a pattern. Just that it isn t the usual sore throat! An irritation of the esophagus often/usually causes chest pain even though it is the throat. (it s a much lower down throat than the usual cold!). Colds also can sometimes do that. Of course having a cold does not mean that someone cannot have a heart attack. Without an examination, I can only give general information. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
