Hello, Thanks for the query. I have gone through the details given and understand the concern you have. The pain described appears to be similar to anginal pain, which occurs when blood vessels supplying the heart muscles (coronary arteries) are affected. My suggestion is get a through check up of the heart, ECG and/or echo cardio gram, that should help in identifying the problem. Thanks.
