Yes: I don't know if you have risk factors for angina but it will be a good idea to look into the causes of chest pain. Just to be sure is not a heart problem. Causes of chest pain are: chest wall pain/ costochondritis; coronary disease; acid reflux; asthma. Good history and physical exam should clear the diagnosis for the physician.
