Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your problem and situation. In my opinion we should first rule out cardiac cause for your symptoms. You are having the following points in favor of cardiac cause more.1. Age more than 55 years.2. Female gender3. Previous history of heart attack.4. Left sided chest Pain on exertion and relieved by rest. So consult cardiologist and get done1. ECG2. 2d echo3. Stress test (trade mill test)4. Coronary angiography if required. If all the above-mentioned investigations are normal then no need to worry about cardiac cause. You may have simple muscle pain due to exercise. So take painkiller and you will be alright.
