CHEST PAIN

APPROX. 3 MONTHS AGO STARTED TO HAVE A SLIGHT PAIN IN THE LEFT UPER CHEST AREA. EVER SO SLIGHT, LASTS A COUPLE OF SECONDS, COMES AND GOES. DOESN'T MATTER LAYING STILL OR EXERCISING. HAD AN EKG DONE, IT WAS FINE. WHEN I DO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OR WALK UP A FLIGHT OF STAIRS I GET FATIQUED.-NOT NORMAL- THE ONLY BIG DIFFERENCES IN PAST 2 YEARS IS GOING FROM LITHIUM 1200MG TO DEPAKOTE 1500MG AND A HIGHER DOSE OF SEROQUEL 25MG TO 100MG. BLOOD PRESSURE HAS BEEN THE BEST ITS BEEN IN YEARS. 110/81. I AM A 50 YEAR OLD MALE, 5'9" 207LBS-22 LBS HEAVIER CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT OFF. MOM HAD A TRIPLE BYPASS AT 50 YEARS OLD. I ALSO TAKE BLOOD PRESSURE MEDS AND CHOLESTAREL MEDS OMEGA 3&6 AND A MULTIVITAMIN. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS

Since you have a family history I suggest getting your family doc to refer you for a echocardiogram....to look at the structural part of your heart....a lot of times chest pain is benign but it would make you feel better in the long run just to know
