Hi. Your concerns are right. The Chest Pain related to heart disease presents as tightness around chest, can occur in upper part of abdomen and can radiate to throat as well. If such a patient comes to my Clinic, i will get his/her ECG done. I will check Blood Pressures & Blood Sugars. I will order Lipid Profile, Cardiac Enzymes and give him/her Aspirin, Statin & Nitrates. I suggest you to go and see Cardiologist for further workup of Heart Disease. If you have any more queries, you can ask in followup questions. Wish you good health.
