I’ve been felling heaviness on the left side of my chest. I am afraid that could be a symptom of heart condition. My wife told me that it is probably because I am over weight and that my heart can’t handle that. Am I going to have heart attack?
I don’t know about heart attack, but your wife is probably right. I‘ve been diagnosed with Angina pectoris last summer. I also felt heaviness on the left side of my chest, like pressure. I think you should see doctor about that. Other causes of chest pain are possible, such as spasm of the esophagus, gallbladder attack, or inflammation of the chest wall.
