Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to local inflammation or the lung problems that you have been going through.

However, considering your age, and based on the description of your chest pain, Coronary Artery Disease cannot be excluded.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing some tests:

- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound
- a chest X-ray study
- complete blood count, CRP, ESR for inflammation.

An exercise cardiac stress test is necessary to investigate for possible coronary artery disease.

Please discuss with your Doctor on the above tests!

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,

Dr.Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
