Hi, I am a 37yr female, in 2006 I had a PE. Over the last 5 days I have been having this pain in the center of my chest. It feels like a lot of presssure and tightness. Almost like I have something stuck in my chest. Ive taken Rolaids, Tums, and Prilosac and NOTHING is relieveing this pain. Should I be concerned?
Hello there. I have read through your question and would advise you to get an EKG done as soon as possible. Left sided chest pain, with pressure and feeling of tightness all indicate towards myocardial infarction. If it is the case you need to be properly assessed and put on medicines like blood thinners. I would advise you not to delay as it may cause the situation to aggravate. I hope that I was able to answer your question. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact.
