Hi im Andy and im 40. I have had a reacurrance of the pain in my chest over the past week or so.  I would like to know if it could possibly be Angina. I thought it might be Dyspepsia as I have pretty bad acid reflux, but i get it even if i havent eaten or drunk anything.  I also have a numbness under my heart and pain accross from that.

    Hi Andy. Why are you writing on here and not at the doctors ? You would know if it was angina, thats agony. Acid reflux? so why havent you changed your diet ?  Pain is a warning, so pay attention - - good luck -

    Sorry Andy but you are been too laid back about this! Any pains in your chest that a recurring is a warning sign. If you haven't already go straight to doctors or out of hours clinic and they will do all checks needed. You also need to get something for acid, either from doctor or herbal, I take digestive enzymes. Can remember off hand what you call it. But acid reflux over long time and cause all sorts of problems.

    Many years ago I self diagnosed angina, and the main symptom was not so much pain as extreme breathlessness. I could only walk about 50 metres before stopping for a rest.  Do you have breathlessness?  Anyway, I agree with Nicolas.  Get an appointment with a good cardiologist ASAP and be checked out.  Modern heart operations, even big ones like a bypass, which is what I had, are not all that much of a problem.  I wa home in 4 days after a double bypass and back to work in a month.  No worse than being at the bottom of a collapsed rugby scrum.

    good luck,
