Welcome to health care magic. Thank you for posting your question. I can understand your concern.

Do not panic.
In any episode of chest pain , an EKG must be done to rule out myocardial infarction(heart attack) or myocardial ischaemia(low blood flow to the heart) - these are worst case scenarios. Old ECG won't have any value.

There can be many other causes like gastritis, peptic ulcer disease , gall stones, inflammation of covering of heart ( pericarditis) , inflammation of covering of lung (pleuritis) and many others.

Do not be scared.

Get an EKG done as early as possible , consult a clinician and get yourself examined.

Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
