Chest Discomfort, Prominent Veins. Due To Stress?
I've been having discomfort on the left side of my chest. I wouldn't consider it heart attack pain but I just noticed the veins on that side are all of a sudden promenant. I've been under extreme stress with my mom in hospice and only expected to live for less than 24 hours. I've been crying very hard for days. It's not excruciating pain but uncomfortable

Hi,
Thanks for your query,
Left sided chest pain can be angina/cardiac pain, pleuritic pain, pain due to acid reflux or some other abdominal pathologies.
I wish if you could go for electrocardiography and if normal stress electrocardiography, Chest X-ray, and barium meal test.
Further treatment will be directed as per the test reports.....
Best wishes
