A member asked:
Ive had chest pains for years now and the doctors cant find anything. im worried it could be something genetic, im saying that because my grandfather on the paternal side died of lung cancer. so it possible to get a genetic test?

Different things: A genetic test will not find the cause for your pain and will not rule out the possibility of developing lung cancer. Get established with a GP. Such pains are musculoskeletal in origin most of the time.
