What is the treatment for stress and chest pain?
Patient: hi I am 25, I was very upset and yelling yesterday with a lot of straining and now I have pain in the center of my chest.  It is constant no matter if I stand or sit or shift positions.  I have no known history of heart problems.  I am not overweight but don't exercise much. Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern.
