I am an African American female, 48 years old, maybe about 12 lbs overweight, but excercise regularly. I have been having chest pain since the death of my mother-1991. They are not as servere as they were ten years ago. The pain I am experiencing feels like a sharp needle is sticking me. This does not happen that often, but if I am worried about something, I experience it until problem is solved, but sometimes it goes away. I have had an EKG and an EEG done which was normal, except, the doctor said that I have a leakage. Is that normal?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of stress and anxiety related chest pain is more likely. No need to worry about heart diseases as your ECG was normal. Better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
