chest pain
do i have heart disease? i am now 34 but from the time i was about 16 or so i have had left sided chest pain as if my heart wanted to explode. sometimes it was mild other times it was severe. i remember once during my afternoon nap it came on sudden and intense. i just braced myself for the end. i was really scared and there was no one who would take me seriously so i said nothing. i am slim but not underweight and it tends to happen if i gain extra pounds. whoever i tell ignores it even the doctor. the doctor indicated that i was just tired or it was a sinus drip. no one takes me seriously! i didn't have it for quite a few years until i had my second child and i gained about 30 pounds. i started having the pain again now. i don't suffer from high blood pressure but my pressure has been high twice where i had to take time home from work. what is my next step?
