What Causes Chest Pain, Intermittent Pain In The Left Arm And Dizziness?

Hello, I am a 29 year old male. I have been having random chest pain, and pain in my left arm and hand for a month, it comes and goes. The pain is in different places at different times, my back, different parts of my arms, my hand, even my fingers and chin at times. I know this is a symptom of a heart issue, I regularly walk at least 5 miles a day. What could this pain be? I also noticed the pain got worse last night and I felt dizzy after I drank coffee, I was lightheaded and sweating for a few minutes. It went away a few hours later but I almost went to the ER. Is this a heart issue?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we should first rule out heart diseases for your symptoms.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
