Please have a Flu and COVID-19 test. If you have had COVID-19 in the past several weeks, cardiac inflammation is one possible cause.An evaluation is recommended. Please see acute care. Monitor temperature and breathing. There are many possible causes.

Chest pain in a patient with diabetes for 6 years,even in your age group,warrants an investigation as a cardiac cause is a possibility because of possible vascular complications.
