Suffering From Chest Pain, Tingling Sensation In Both Legs, Also Have Asthma

Hello
I am 45 female in good health and I am having very persistent pain in the left side of my chest about the size and location of where my heart is.
Pain is pretty much in front only and does not radiate.
I have had it for several hours an I am in bed and I am now having a tingly sensation in both legs.
I do have a cough that I have had for 4 days due to a cold.
I also have asthma and have had a heavy chest with that but this is a very isolated pain and heavy ness.
A little worried about going to sleep.

Hello dear,

Chest pain can be caused by various reasons, including minor problem such as indigestion or stress, to serious medical emergencies such as a heart attack.
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to chest pain secondary to cough. It can be managed by intake of anti-tussive preparations.

Other causes of chest pain include:
1. Strained chest muscles due to overuse
2. Chest muscle injury
3. Short-term, sudden anxiety with rapid breathing
4. Peptic ulcer disease
5. Pain from the digestive tract, such as esophageal reflux

So, it will be better to consult a Doctor & get a physical examination done to rule out other causes.
Investigations like an Electrocardiogram or Stress Echocardiography will be helpful to rule out any pathology in the Cardiovascular system.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
