hi, i am a 29 year old female.  Here lately i have been having a strange squeezing like mild pain in my left upper chest near my left armpit area. Its been constant enough to notice and has been wondering what is going on.  I do have a famiy history of heart promblems.  Any ideas on what may be going on with me.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since you are having strong family history of heart diseases, better to first rule out cardiac cause for your chest pain. So get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG and 2d echo. If all are normal than no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of pain. So if you are having stress and tension than avoid them, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright. But first rule out heart related diseases. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
