I have had 5 episodes in a month with a sudden intense and constant pain in the sternum area and immediately thereafter a constricting pain at the top of my throat. Each time I have been in a sitting position at rest. Due to not knowing what else to do, each time I took an adult strength aspirin and a CoQ10 and the pain gradually left within minutes. Do you think this pain is angina or esophageal related, although I do not have a history of reflux or gastro problems?
Have a history of hypertension and murmur due to MVP: currently taking meds for blood pressure and congestive heart failure.
Thank you for your valuable time and educated opinion.
