What Causes Sore Throat Along With Chest Pain?
This afternoon, after a stressful day, I got a sore throat. I assumed that it was a flare-up of my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms. But then it moved down into my chest. The pain isn t severe, but it feels like heaviness on my chest. It hasn t gotten any worse in the past 5-6 hrs. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
We have to rule out cardiac causes first. You can go for an ECG to rule out conditions like angina which can present with severe chest pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
