Hi for a month I have been getting burning pains in my left chest area which then migrates to my central chest and occasional stabbing abdominal pains which cause flatulence. The chest pain seems to increase when I am stressed but does not increase when I do exercise. I am 51, overweight but not obese, have been taking statins for cholestoral for 7 years, my blood pressure is normal, as is my cholestoral level and no one in my family has a history of cardiovascular disease
You explain very well your concern. Your arterial tension is normal no genetic predisposition, good cholesterol values. In my opinion this pain may originate from your gastrointestinal system, it means stomach and intestine. May be might you have gases in your intestines and this represent as a fluctuated pain first in the chest, and it localized in the abdomen. For this I will recommend you to do an abdominal ultrasound to control the organs that stay in the abdomen. Thank you Chat Doctor.
