What Causes Heart Pains?
I recently have been having heart pains. I don t think that it is heart burn because I took an antacid which didn t do anything for the pain. Last time I was seen at the doctor my blood pressure was 120/86, and they told me to keep an eye on the lower number. Do I need to seek medical advice or can I just wait it out and see if there is any improvment.

Hi,
In a suspected case of cardiac pain, apart from clinical evaluation, you need to undergo ECG, Treadmill test or Stress test, Chest X-ray and 2-D Echocardiogram. The golden test for ischaemic heart disease causing chest pain is Coronary angiography (CAG). Please consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
