Dear XXXX,
Thank You for choosing Health Care Magic.
I read your question carefully and I do understand hour concern.
In this types of pains, of they are repetetive, it is important to make sure if they are or are not related to tiredness, to running, or taking stairs. What time of the day you have the pain, is it getting worse in time or improving. Do you use any medication and what works good with it for you.
I do suggest that you go and see a cardiologist and do some heart examination to make sure that the pain is not cardiac related.
Please write me back for more question.
Regards,
Dr. Eni Manoku
