Diagnosis that has been suggested: anxiety, helio co bactor
Current medical status: last year i had an ecg which was fine my blood pressure was high end of normal but i am really anxious as i know have chest pains in the left side

Chest pain that becomes worse by laughing or touching probably originates from the chest wall not from the heart. It could be muscle pain. Anxiety can contribute to the pain.


A heart attack at that age is rare but still possible, especially if you have more of these conditions: hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, overweight, stress, etc.


You may want to consult your primary health provider about this.
