Chest pain: There are many causes of chest pain and some are not serious but others can be fatal so it is prudent to get checked out. The risk of heart attack is related to age, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, diabetes, family history, and other factors. Even low-risk patients can have serious heart problems, though, so if you are concerned do not ignore this symptom.
