Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
What is your age? For how long u are suffering from it? Any other associated problem? like diabetes or hypertension? Any history of TB in past or exposure to TB? Are u running fever? Any other lymph node swelling in ur body? do u have cough? are u smoker?
Chest heaviness or discomfort in elderly patients should not be taken lightly. You need to be investigated for proper management.
If i am ur attending physician i will get your BP reading along iwth ECG ECHO CHEST xRAY to find the cause..
Meet your doctor so that proper intervention can be done in time.
Meanwhile stay calm and use acetaminophen to relieve pain
Get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
Dr Saad Sultan
