Hi;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Since your age is 48yrs and you got chest pain while walking it can be due to Angina (less blood supply & oxygen supply to heart.This is a unstable angina coming on exertion.Please visit a Cardiologist /hospital & get a ECG done.You will require a thorough investigation of cholesterol/triglycerides/and cardiac profile.The Cardiologist may also advise you STRESS test (continuous ECG is taken while walking on a treadmill) to confirm that the pain is of heart & then prescribe treatment for that.
Please visit a Cardio ASAP.
Thanks
