I am 48yrs woman, non smoker, past menopause and no high blood pressure or medical problems..but I have had chest pains and tightness in my chest..am i at risk for heart problems at my age?  and what test should I ask my doctor to do?  and what are the other symptoms?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Post menopausal women are at increased risk of heart disease. Symptoms of heart disease are chest pain, perspiration, palpitations, chest tightness, Heaviness etc. So we should definitely rule out heart diseases for your symptoms. 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. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
