Hi. Need to know a few more details to opine correctly about the cause of the pain. Heaviness and pressure in chest can be due to a number of causes ranging from heart related, to chest wall muscle or bone related, to lung related, to being a part of other generalised conditions like anaemia, thyroid disease or vitamin deficiencies There are specific characteristics which hint to the probable origin of the pain, fir which you need to provide detailed history as to where the pain is, if it is continous, does it increase with exertion, does it seem yo spread to other areas like arma and neck or back and so on, or does it increase on deep breath. Also your background risk for any future cardiac events depends on factors like whether you smoke, do you have family history of heart disease in addition to your lipid values.
