Feeling Discomfort In Chest

It’s the most common sign of heart danger. If you have a blocked artery or are having a heart attack, you may feel pain, tightness, or pressure in your chest.

“Everyone has a different word for that feeling,” Chambers says. “Some people say it’s like an elephant is sitting on them. Other people say it’s like a pinching or burning.”

The feeling usually lasts longer than a few minutes. It may happen when you’re at rest or when you’re doing something physical.

If it’s just a very brief pain – or if it’s a spot that hurts more when you touch or push on it – it’s probably not your heart, Chambers says. You should still get it checked out by a doctor. If the symptoms are more severe and don’t go away after a few minutes, You must be call to the nearest doctor.And if possible then take your self to the doctor.

Note:Also, keep in mind you can have heart problems — even a heart attack — without chest pain. That’s particularly common among women.
