Yesterday i started with a pain on my chest, it feels like someone is taking their hands and pushing down between my breasts & hurts to breathe even.

Family practice : With chest pain described as yours i would recommend being seen. Risk factors for cardiac disease are smoking, hypertension , high cholesterol , obesity , and family history. Pulmonary emboli has to be ruled out.

Need more info: Unlikely a heart attack @ your age, unless you have cardiomegly. Ever had a chest x-ray that said your heart was enlarged? Or does it run in your family? Pneumonitis if you have been doing cardio in cold weather.Pericarditis and pulmonary embolus are rare possibility. A lot of times we never find a reason for the symptom and it goes away on its own. Sometimes all u can do is rule out the bad stuff.
