What Causes Stinging Pain In The Chest?

I m a 54 year old male. Nonsmoker fairly healthy with no family history of heart problems. Here lately I periodically get this stinging pain around the area of the heart. It last about a minute or two. I can breath fine not sweating and no light headed. Was wondering if this is signs of a heart attack or something I need to have looked at immediately

Respected user , Hi

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your concern thoroughly .

* Apparently looking narration is not in favor of heart issue .
* Most probably in relation with muscular ache either following stress or
over exertion related .

* Still to be on a safer side , recommended to get an EKG with a
physician .

Hope this clears your query .
Welcome for any further guidance .

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases.
If these reports 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.
