Hi there, I just wondered if you could help. For the last few days whenever I walk or do physical exercise I get really quite severe pain at the top of my chest, central but radiating slightly to the left. I do not get any pain when at rest. What is the best way to treat this?
Hello there!The pain in the chest coming on with exertion and being relieved on rest is typical of angina. You haven't mentioned your age and any other co-existing illnesses.However to begin with you should get your blood pressure (BP) measured several times to rule out high BP and also get an ECG done. A Lipid Profile and Blood Sugar levels too would be helpful in sorting out your condition.Please do not ignore this exertional pain.Hope this helped.All the best!
