Chest symptoms: Have to be investigated timely due to possibly being generated by heart or lung issues. Keep a log of symptoms as to circumstances as it might make a big difference in picking the right tests. Many times once life threatening conditions are ruled out, they prove to be musculoskeletal in nature. Your GP will be best to start with.
