Hi,

I understand your concern.

Chest pain along with headache are indicating possible cardiovascular or respiratory issues.

Should consult first with lung specialist (pulmonologist) to rule out respiratory problems.

Depending on your age and gender, a good medical history and clinical examination should be carried out.

Respiratory function tests are recommended together with cardiac check up:
- ECG
-Echo cardiogram
- stress test

Hope this helps.
