I feel a heaviness in my upper left chest and a pretty constant pain. It feels like there is a lump in my throat about half way down and even constant swallowing doesn t help. The pain is extending to my back on the left side. I am a 54 year old female, 5 feet 3 and 198 pounds. I have high triglycerides (440) but am on medication for blood pressure and it is well controlled.
Hello Paymaster going through the medical details provide by you, I would like to advise you to consult a cardiologist personally and get one EKG as well as an ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY done because you have high TRIGLYCERIDE levels as well as Hypertension both of them are a risk factor for developing CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE. Also, the kind of chest discomfort you are telling it fits into the ANGINA picture. Female after there menopause become twice more prone to CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE as compared to men. So get your self evaluated on time. Till then take a baby Aspirin as a precaution. I wish you good health
