Cardiologist, Interventional 's  Response
your concern is about chest pain which lasts for 2-3second only. if it's really only in seconds then chances of cardiac origin is less. however being a diabetic obese and hypotension patient cardiac ischemia can not be ruled out. better is to take chewable aspirin 300mg and get an ecg done. and further investigation if required as trademill stress test,echocardiography. and advise you to consult a cardiologist.
