Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Possible cardiac anginal pain. Radiating pain to jaws feels very important.
2. Symptom, not to be ignored at your age specially.
3. Need to get a stress ECG or treadmill test done.
4. Meet your doctor at the earliest. Also get a lipid profile done. Need to start anti platelet agents.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
