Hello,
With the question "What is frequent chest pain when working hard or under stress?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have symptoms of chest pain that are intermittent and related to exertion. The first thing to think about is whether this pain is related to coronary artery disease. Coronary chest pain, also known as angina, usually has the following characteristics: Pain feels suffocating or pressing in the left chest or behind the breastbone, which can spread to the chin or left hand. The pain lasts usually 3-5 minutes, is often related to exertion or strong emotions.
To answer what disease you have depends on many factors such as how old you are, whether you smoke, whether you are overweight or obese, whether you have hyperlipidemia, diabetes or high blood pressure? ... When a person has chest pain and the doctor thinks a coronary cause is usually associated with risk factors, it is rare for coronary artery damage to appear in a young person with no cardiovascular risk factors. what.
You need to see a cardiologist soon to rule out the cause of chest pain related to coronary artery disease. If the cause is not coronary, then it is necessary to find another cause and treat it.
If you still have questions about frequent chest pain when working hard or under stress, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
