I've been having this pain in the heart area of my chest for over three months now, and it happens about twice a week. I haven't been doing any kind of exercise recently. I'm starting to get really worried about it. Could this be something I should be concerned about? What might be causing this, and what should I do?

View allI've been having a breathing problem that started with feeling like I had a missed heartbeat. Now, every 15 to 20 minutes, I get this short spell where I have trouble breathing, like something is blocking my airway, just for a couple of seconds. I went to the doctor about six months ago, and they said it was nothing to worry about, but it's still happening. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
do one chest xray

I stood up quickly and felt a sharp pain in my chest for just a second, and then a few seconds after that, I got chest pain that lasted for about 5 minutes. Could this be something to do with my heart?

I'm really worried about the possibility of having plaque in my arteries or if my coronary artery might be narrowing. Could you please tell me what tests I should consider to find this out? I just want to make sure I'm covering all the bases and keeping my heart healthy.
The tests to detect plaque in arteries or narrowing of coronary arteries include: 1. Coronary Angiography: This test involves injecting a contrast dye into the coronary arteries and taking X-ray images to visualize any blockages or narrowing. 2. CT Coronary Angiography: This non-invasive test uses a CT scanner to create detailed images of the heart and blood vessels to detect any plaque buildup. 3. Stress Test: This test measures the heart's response to physical activity or medication to detect any reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, which can indicate narrowing of the coronary arteries. 4. Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS): This test uses sound waves to create detailed images of the inside of the coronary arteries to detect any plaque buildup. 5. Cardiac Catheterization: This invasive test involves inserting a catheter into the coronary arteries to measure blood flow and detect any blockages or narrowing. These tests can help diagnose plaque buildup or narrowing of the coronary arteries.
