What Causes Sudden Stabbing Pain In Chest For Few Seconds?

Two days ago I had a sudden stabbing pain in chest lasting hardly 10 seconds followed by dizziness for a very short while. I took one Ecosprin and continued with my work. Is this significant? Does it warrant more tests? I am obese, diabetic on oral medicine for B.P. & sugar.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Stabbing chest pain with dizziness should be evaluated for cardiac diseases.
Andrew you are having cardiac risk factors like diabetes, obesity and hypertension.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
Strict control of diabetes and hypertension are also needed.
Strict diet control, aerobic exercise (cycling, swimming, running etc) are good for weight loss.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
