What is the squeezing pain in the left chest during exertion?

Question
I am 20 years old this year, every time I ride a bicycle or run hard, I feel pain like someone choking in the left chest area, then cold sweat breaks out all over my upper body. Sometimes a dull throbbing pain in the chest lasts up to 3 days even when the child is at rest. I went to the doctor many times but still no accurate results. The doctor asked me, what is the squeezing pain in the left chest with exertion? Looking forward to consulting your doctor. I thank you!

Hello baby! With the question "What is the squeezing pain in the left chest when exertion? "The doctor recommends that you see a cardiologist, see if you have coronary artery disease. Because this is an anatomical abnormality of the coronary arteries, causing artery spasm when the heart contracts, increasing with exertion, causing squeezing pain in the chest.
If you still have questions about this, you can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System to get more specific advice from a doctor.
