Prevention of Chest Pain
- Avoid smoking
- Keep blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes in check
- Counter obesity by the following methods:
- Walking for a minimum of 30 min for at least 5 days a week
- Eating a balanced low fat meal with plenty of fibers
- Follow any stress- busting technique such as meditation or yoga regularly.
Paying attention to chest pain could produce life saving benefits. On the other hand there is no need to panic either, as chest pains can be due to a lot of factors. Creating awareness to motivate the public to seek medical help along with appropriate preventive measures will definitely contribute towards minimizing fatalities from chest pain.

Hi. For my mother 53 years old, we have already consulted a cardiologist 2 years ago. Did echo test, treadmill test, ECG, all reports normal. Cardiologist diagnosed PSVT and given DILZEM-SR to take daily one tablet. Palpitation of heart stopped with that, but chest pain on left side is severe, feel too much heaviness in the chest while sleeping or lying down. Which specialist we should visit? Kindly advise.
I have been having pains in my left chest for over a year now and have not seen a doctor to complain!I am afraid of this!I have stopped smoking for two years now but still drinks
I have sudden sharp pain in my chest and then it goes away. It doesn't happen every day and it isn't associated with any other symptom. I plan to tell my doctor at my next visit, but he'll send me to the same old cardiologist who makes me feel like a waste of time.
it could be Precordial Catch Syndrome research it or angina
