Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I totally understand your concern. I will bray to explain you something about chest pain. A typical heart chest pain does have some characteristic. Heart pains are usually retro-sternal chest pains, like tightness, squeezing or heaviness. They might irradiate to the neck, both arms and jaw. They last from 5 to 20 minutes. Usually they exacerbate during efforts. So, if I was your treating doctor and as you are experiencing chest pains I will recommend a full heart check up like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echocardiogram and a street test to exclude heart problems. Hope I was helpful. Wish you good health. Best regards.
