A member asked:
I am 22 and 300 pounds and have some chest pain every once in a while is this likely from my obesity or some kind of congestive heart failure?

Majority of chest pain is caused by musculoskeletal causes, but heart can always be the cause and cannot be ignored. Losing weight in your case will help, congestive heart failure is not causing chest pain, obesity may contribute to heart failure later in life.

Agree with Dr. P. Losing weight is not easy, but essential for health. You may consider joining a support group like weight watchers. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
