More info: First lets make a risk assessment of cardivascular disease. Good history and physical. Pressure type of chess pain worsening with activities is classical for coronary disease. Ecg and stress test will help. Chest pain that increase with breathing and with pushing in the chest point toward chest wall pain/costochondritis. Chest pain worsening only with deep respiration can be pneumonia/pleurisy.
