Hi,im a female of 65 years on Sunday,have been very fit all my life not letting anything stop me from doing things i want,about two weeks ago i was walking my dog and noticed a dull ache in the middle of my chest,also down both my arms,im fine in the home no trouble,this only happens on walking,have i started getting angina do you think,thanking you Betty.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. At your age of 65 years, we should definitely rule out anginal chest pain. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about angina or other heart diseases. Sometimes muscular spasm can also cause similar kind of momentary pain. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
