What Causes Mild Pain In The Heart Area?

For the last few weeks, I've noticed a mild pain in the heart area. The pain last just a few seconds. Then maybe 30 minutes later I will once again experience this pain. I'm a 65 yr old woman, fairly healthy and active. I do take medicine for high blood pressure.

Hi

Thanks for posting your query.

1. Heart problem.
