What Causes Unusual Discomfort In The Upper Left Chest While Walking?

Classical angina.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
Most likely the sensation you are trying to explain is angina.Classical angina is associated with exertion and relieves on resting.
I would strongly recommend you to go for few baseline tests of cardiology like
2 d echo- wall motion of heart will be appreciated.In case there is any ischemia regional wall motion abnormality will be seen.
Stress test- You are made to run on a treadmill and evg recordings will ne taken.Any ST-T change is suggestive of ischemia or coronary artery disease.
Combined together 2d echo and treadmill test are more then 85% sensitive to rule out coronary artery disease.
I would suggest you to go for these two baseline tests of cardiology initially before giving you any further opinion.
Regards
