Chest discomfort:

It is difficult to say what the cause of your chest discomfort is without more information. I would recommend seeing your doctor for an evaluation.  He/she may decide to obtain an electrocardiogram (ECG), stress test and possibly an echocardiogram. The ECG will check for rhythm problems and may detect evidence of an old heart attack, if present. A stress test helps us to evaluate for the presence of blockages in the heart arteries which may lead to chest discomfort. The echocardiogram will evaluate the heart valves and pumping function of the heart. I would recommend seeing your doctor this week if possible.

Thanks for your question,
