Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...I am 31 overweight and I smoke. My mother has heart disease and at the age of 40 she had a heart attack and the result was a triple bypass. Starting late last night I started having pains in the left side of my chest behind my breast and down into my left arm. The pain is still there and my arm feels like it weighs a ton. The chest pain is getting worse.    What should I do
Hello thanks for posting here. I have gone through your description. I would advise you to go immediately to the emergency department s and take an EKG and cardiac enzymes. Please don't sit on the pain. It requires attention. If both EKG and cardiac enzymes are normal then get a 2 d echo done. If all three a normal you can come home, and you skid do a treadmill test after four days. Meanwhile also get your it D and it B12 levels checked. You have three risk factors namely smoking, obesity and family history of heart disease, that's y i m concerned. Wishing you good health thank you
