Please let me know your age, if any risk factors for cardiac illness like obesity, smoking, family history, or hypertension. These symptoms are very much suggestive of heart disease and you should get yourself evaluated. Get Ecg, echo and tmt done if needed. You need to be started on medicine as early as possible. Also get lipid profile and sugars tested once. Till then you can have tab Sorbitrate whenever you have squeezing in chest.
