Pressure in the chest has many causes. You are having history of heart attack. So you must be well experienced with the typical symptoms of heart attack I.e. Anginal pain. One of the typical symptom is the pain of heart attack radiates to left arm and jaw but not necessary in every case. As you are having history you should visit emergency room where the doctors will do your ECG whenever you experience any symptoms relating to chest. Just don't neglect it. For aneurysm in brain I would suggest you to have a CT scan done as you have not mentioned me regarding its condition at present. And regarding your accompanying headache, it may be due to acid reflux disease. In acid reflux also you get chest tightedness and pain. Take a note on your diet. See if any typical foodstuff ( tea coffee fried and spicy) is aggravating your symptoms. If so modify your diet. Still no improvement try taking tablet nexium early in the morning before food for 1 week. But try this before ruling out any heart condition. Take care.
