A member asked:
Should i be concerned about chest pains if i don't have a family history of heart disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: particularly if you have other risk factors for coronary artery disease: smoking, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity and sedentary lifestyles. In any event: ALL chest pain should receive an evaluation by your primary/ family physician!
