What Does Increased Heart Rate And Chest Pressure Indicate?

Last 3-5 days I've been having a feeling in my chest like I was having anxiety, but I wasn't. Heart rate increased after just walking outside and running up 15 steps to go to the bedroom. At times my chest has felt a little heavy with some pressure on it....I have a diagnosed Right Bundle Branch Blockage from 3 years ago. I passed a stress test to deploy to Afghanistan for 10 months. No issues since returning Dec 2012. I was just concerned.

Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Your symptoms suggest Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

     You MUST GO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT – IMMEDIATELY / Any pain at this setting / age should be investigated as HEART PAIN – UNLESS PROVED OTHERWISE –
     In suspected heart attack, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE – if detected early, an attack may even be aborted / the amount of damage and complications can be reduced remarkably. The most important time is the first few hours.
Appropriate treatment demands accurate diagnosis / / Diagnosis needs physician consultation and investigations…/ See an Internist / get yourself examined / investigated again...

Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
