What Causes Recurrent Pain In The Chest?

I am a 32 year old female and I have been having reoccurring severe chest pain for the past 2 weeks my left side. The more I get flustered or slightly upset in any way it makes it worse and also adds the fact it makes it difficult to breath. My heart flutters face gets red and I start to sweat and sometimes my face will start to feel funny and heavy. Heart disease and heart attacks run through my family.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your all symptoms are commonly seen with arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) and you have strong family history of heart diseases.
So immediately consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
