Does Chest Pain Mean A Heart Problem?

Hi I am 56 years old, with a history of congestive heart failure. I was 49 when I had a heart attack. I have been experiencing pain in the middle of my chest like I felt like when I had a gall bladder. The pain is coming at all different times and seems to be getting a little worse. Do u think this could be my heart? Plus I have had some jaw pain. Could this be something to worry about to?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Chest pain may be due to cardiac and non cardiac problems. Like pleuracy, pneumonia, intercostal muscle pain or infection or herpes zoster etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Present pain is may be due to re infraction or unstable angina. Please consult your cardiologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
