Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Pain In The Centre Of The Chest?
I was awakened at 6-45 ( now 9-45) with a pain in the centre of my chest in a small area. It felt quite intense and stayed the same if I breathed deeply. It seemed to go after several mins and I went back to sleep. I have it again to a lesser extent, I am a 60 year old o/w woman and I gave up smoking 4 months ago
Hi, Thanks for posting your query with Healthcare Magic
Since you have a history of smoking and taking into consideration your age, its likely to be a myocardial infarction. I would suggest you to take an ECG, and to consult a doctor soon for proper management before another episode.
Kindly revert back for any further queries.
Thank you
