What Causes Chest Pain, Dizziness And Headache?

Hi I have been having a headache, chest pains, sob, dizziness for the past 2 days. And just here about 2 hours ago my jaw started hurting.I have open heart surgery 2 times, but they have been a long long time ago. The first one was in 1984 and the second was in 2004. I also have neurofibromatosis and I have neurofibromas in my chest wall. The doctors say I am not at any risks for a heart attack, but i just don t feel right. I am 34 years old and a female. What do I need to do.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your all symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, headache etc are suggestive of heart diseases.
You also had heart surgeries twice in the past.
So in my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases in your case.
So get done ecg, 2d echo, stress test (trade mill test) and coronary angiography (if required).
If all these reports are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes acute bronchitis can also cause similar symptoms. So get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test).
You may need inhaled bronchodilators.
Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
