Good morning.

What brings you in today?

I have been having some troubling chest pain in my chest now and then for the past month.

Sorry for the chest problem

Thanks. I appreciate that.

When did the chest pain start?

Question
04/15/23 1:11 PM EDT

I first noticed it earlier this month. I thought it might just be heartburn and it passed after a couple of minutes.

How is the pain like

When the pain happens, I feel it mostly in the middle of my chest, over my heart.

What makes the pain worse

Question
04/15/23 1:17 PM EDT

Well, I think it’s when I’m doing something physical most of the time. The first time it happened, my chest started hurting after I was doing some yard work. The second time happened when the elevator broke at work so I had to take the stairs. My office is on the 5th floor.

can you rate the pain on a scale

Question
04/15/23 1:18 PM EDT

I’d say maybe a . . . 5? It’s just really uncomfortable . . . like there’s nothing I can do about it. Right now it’s like a zero though.
