Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
At your age of 65 years, we should definitely rule out anginal chest pain.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for angina or other heart diseases.
Sometimes muscular spasm can also cause similar kind of momentary pain.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
