I m a 54 year old male. Nonsmoker fairly healthy with no family history of heart problems. Here lately I periodically get this stinging pain around the area of the heart. It last about a minute or two. I can breath fine not sweating and no light headed. Was wondering if this is signs of a heart attack or something I need to have looked at immediately
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you should get done ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases. If these reports are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
