Hi Doctor,I am having severe chest pain on the left side just & exactly at the same point at the back. I also feel breathlessness & often feel exhausted after climbing steps...I am 26 years old & my family history has heart problems.Please suggest examinations i should go through.
Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I have gone through your question. As you have chest pain associated with breathlessness increasing/brought on by exertion, cardiac (heart) cause has to be ruled out first. An ECG and 2d Echocardiography are the first and the primary investigations you have to undergo. Depending on those test a TMT (treadmill test) or an Angiogram may be needed. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing good health, Chat Doctor.
