What Causes Chest Pain And Shortness Of Breath?

GO TO ER - NOW
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
YOU SHOULD GO TO Emergency Department (Casualty Service) – NOW
The combination of chest pain, shortness of breath with mild exertion – is ominous… Coronary Artery Disease (heart ) MUST be excluded immediately. Stomach pain & diarrhoea might, in this situation, mean inferior wall ischemia or infarction.
Of course, there are a few alternatives, but heart is an emergency. In suspected heart attack, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE – if detected early, an attack may even be aborted / the amount of damage and complications can be reduced remarkably.
Pain from the heart is oppressing, in central chest (and left), worse on effort, relieved by rest, may radiate to shoulders and arms, associated with sweating and so on.. But it is notorious for misleading presentations. Right side pain does not exclude
You SHOULD SEE YOUR DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...
You need ECG and blood work – to exclude a few emergency issues
Better be safe than sorry - treated if a problem is found / Happy, if it turns out otherwise, that can be investigated leisurely
Good luck
God bless you
