what heart problems could i possibly have if i feel; chest pains like someone is hugging me too tightly or like my chest is collapsing. i also get dizzy/light headed sometimes. my chest pains make me feel like i can't breathe the way i'm supposed to. also, with my chest pains when i inhale i feel as if someone is stabbing me in the heart (a very sharp pain). my chest pain sometimes feel as if it's heartburn, but much more serious. when i get the chest pain my heart beats very rapidly.

Hello,

Brief Answer: Your symptoms are considered typical chest pain, that needs to be assessed.
Explanation: My opinion is that typical chest pain that includes burning, crunching pain that may radiate to the left side of the jaw. Time from five to fifteen minutes and associated with sweating and vomiting sometimes. I suggest my patients the following clinical examination, and good history taking is mandatory, electrocardiography and some laboratory investigations may be needed. The information provided by you is not sufficient to provide a good opinion. If someone comes to me with this condition I would ask them about risk factors such as smoking, family history, hypertension, diabetes, and lifestyle.
Conclusion: I suggest you check with your physician.



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

Regards,
Dr. Mahmmad Gamal
