I ve been getting chest pains. It comes and goes. It s been happening for months, maybe years. I notice it more at night. I also get shortness/tightness of breath, so I use an albuterol inhaler. The pain is in the center of my chest and feels like an achy and is every now and then. I do have an irregular heart beat. I was supposed to have more heart tests done when I was 19 (I m 34, now, I m also 170lbs and 4 11 , I know I m overweight), but we couldn t afford it. My mom just passed away last month. She had a major heart attack and lived for another 2 months. There is heart problems that runs in my family. I am not an active person like I used to be, I want to be active again and lose weight. Sometimes, I also get very short dizzy spells. I have gotten anxiety/panic attacks before. I just want to know if this chest pain that I get almost every day is something to worry about. I can t afford to go to a cardiologist right now and I know I need a referral anyway. Is this chest pain something to worry about?
