age? any risk factors for heart disease like high blood pressure, smoking, family history, Diabetes.
chest heaviness can be due to cardiac problems or acidity problems. still we should rule out heart disease. ecg can b normal many times. so next step is stress test or treadmill test which will clear the doubt. keep tab sorbitrate 5 mg in your pocket and keep it sublingual when heaviness is there.
