Is Severe Chest Pain During A Physical Activity Dangerous?
2nd time to have very heavy chest pain after climbing stairs to 3rd floor. I am 40yrs old,over weight but have never had this problem before. I take blood pressure meds but it is under control. This pain is like a ball blowing up in my chest. Should I try to get in to see my cardiologist or go to the er if it gets worse?

chest pain may occur due to a lot of disordesr but as mentioned in ur case chest pain is associated with exertion which usually occurs due to a condition termed as stable angina.
the factors which might lead to stable angina are following .
high LDL level(try to maintain it below 110)
hypertension(please take your antihypertensive drug regularly)
smoking ( please avoid if u do )
sedentary life style (please avoid it)
you should go for test of your LDL levels and if found elevated take following medicine
tab atorvastatin 40 mg daily
tab aspirin 300mg daily
you need to undergo exercise stress test ,if found positive you have to further go for coronary angiography and then your cardiologist will decide about surgical treatment if required.
please follow some lifestyle changes-
do exercise daily for 30 minutes
take fibre rich diets
avoid junk and oily foods.
you should consult your cardiologist definetely
thankyou and takecare
