Hi I am 45 year old female and I have soreness/pain in my chest and my throat for the past few days. It feels light a tight heaviness. It is more noticeable when i lie on my front at night. I do not have any burning sensation or have difficulty breathing. I take Blood Pressure tablets for high blood pressure. I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Sore throat with chest tightness is commonly seen with viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI). But better to rule out heart diseases (Coronary artery disease) because you are hypertensive patient. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Do warm water gargles. Take combination of antihistamine and anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.
