Answer 1

Hmm it could be Angina, a sypmtom of an artery disease. Or it could be a symptom of a heart attack. Check symptoms for artery disease at the website provided below (listed source). Symptoms for a heart attack is:

-Pressure, fullness or a squeezing pain in the center of your chest that lasts for more than a few minutes

-Pain extending beyond your chest to your shoulder, arm, back, or even to your teeth and jaw

-Increasing episodes of chest pain

-Prolonged pain in the upper abdomen

-Shortness of breath

-Sweating

-Impending sense of doom

-Fainting

-Nausea and vomiting

(heart attack info from mayoclinic.com)

One reason for a heart attack to occur is stress. If you have hypertension (high blood pressure), it causes the heart to pump faster than normal and could result in having a heart attack. If you are under alot of stress, try to relax a little. Get alot of rest and start maintaining a heathy diet. Try not to worry about alot of things, and dont sweat the small stuff. You can also relieve some stress by exercising. Exercising can keep your blood pressure down, and keep you fit.

Answer 2

It can be several issues, or a combination of both. Most likely believe it or not it can be stress. Stress is the number one killer today. This in combination with clogged arteries  due to high cholesterol levels, and poor circulation, can eventually lead to a stroke or even heart attack. Short term solution, besides getting it check, is to establish a bayer aspirin daily consumption, take some time off from work and rest. Monitor your blood pressure, keep it under control by not stressing get a full body massage, and relax. Supplement your diet with natural products that offer no side effects & can offer a long term solution to what may be a growing problem. Most of all do not be scared. The anxiety will only hamper the situation( I know easier said than done.) Try to entertain yourself, a good laugh will do wonders for your overall health. If the pain is un bearable, I suggest you go in to the emergency room let them do an E.K.G. to make sure your heart is not in trouble. What ever you do, do not ignore it. My father in-law did so and it cost him his life. Be smart about your situation don't panic, and listen to your body and go with your gut feeling. I can recommend a product called Cardio ( www.abtam.my4life.com) that can give you a natural approach to your cardiovascular health. I also recommend that you sleep on your back ( no pillow) to improve circulation. God bless, and all the best to you.
