Thank you and happy to answer you. You may experience an angina sectors. Angina sectors is a sign of myocardial ischemia, occurring when the oxygen requirements of the heart are higher than the intake by a coronary artery defect in blood supply to the heart muscle, by obstruction (atherosclerosis most often), Or by arterial spasm. Angina is characterized by the occurrence of pain or chest discomfort for several minutes, typically caused by effort, anxiety, most often located in the heart region, which can radiate to the left arm, or to the jaw, realizing the classic stress angina attack in which the oxygen requirement of the heart increases while the coronary blood flow is already reduced, a usual manifestation of coronary insufficiency but not causing myocardial necrosis. I would be happy if you do urgently an EKG in the cardiologist office, and some blood check up for myocardial ischemic diseases.URGENTLY...best wishes
