A member asked:

I've been having a dull type of pain in the center of my chest. also, what is unstable angina?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could be from: Your esophagus, lungs, thymus, sternum, and heart, discuss it with your doctor asap. Unstable angina is a provisional impression a physician makes to place a patient to more tests to see if the patient has acute ischemia of the heart muscle! good luck!

Dr Petruska and another doctor agreed
