What Do Severe Chest Pains And Difficulty Breathing Indicate

I get really sharp pains in chest and woke the other morning with a heavy weight feeling on my chest, then the other night had trouble breathing. I have had an ECG which showed nothing and been told by doctors my heart is strong. I do have high cholesterol which I take medication for. There is a family history of heart related issues back to my grandfather and his family, plus my younger brother has had a heart attack due to blocked arteries. My doctor has increased the losec he has prescribed for me. What is your opinion of the symptoms.

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

Chest pain can indicate problems of heart even if ECG is free, it is recommended to do stress ECG and echocardiogram and also diagnostic catheter PCI, to see if there is any coronary problems.

Take care
