Hi,

Chest pain should never be underestimated and should be evaluated in detail.
Hole in heart generally does not pain in the chest.
Cardiac chest is exertional that is it occurs during exercise or exertion and relieved by rest.
Cardiac chest pain is diffused and is not localised.
I'll recommend you to get an ECG, 2Echo, Chest X-ray and stress test for diagnosis.
Further treatment will depend on the results of these tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
