Hello,
I think you may be checked by a cardiologist because the pain that you are referring may be related to heart disease. You may need to do an ECG immediately. If the heart problems are excluded the pain may be caused by the stomach, possibly gastritis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
