It can be heartburn. I have chest pains hundreds of times. I had 3
ECG. ECG is always normal.  Doctors say it is due to acidity(but I do
not feel buqning sensation in throat).

But my cholestrol is 134. I took 40-50 anti-oxident pills with doctors
advice. And I kept taking aspirin without doctor's advice. Since last
2-3 months no chest pains.

Lemme restart 80 mg daily aspirin again.
