Could the chest pains be the sighn of heart attack?
Patient: My boyfriend of 10 months is havin throbbin chest pains. Before I met him he was 200 n something lbs.he lost the weight but now he's gainin it all back.also,he was born with a heart murmur and worst he's a smoker.my question is could the chest pains be signs of a heart attack? Doctor: Hello, thanks for posting a question. I understand your concern towards your boyfriend's health.  Chest pain alone is not a symptom of heart attack. Heart attack comes along with other symptoms like shortness of breath, palpitations, nausea etc. I advise he sees a physician for check up because of his history of heart murmur, been overweight and smoking habit.
