Chest Pain

 History

A 64-year-old woman has a 10-year history of retrosternal pain. The pain is often present in bed at night and may be precipitated by bending down. Occasionally, the pain comes on after eating and on some occasions it appears to have been precipitated by exercise. The pain has been described as having a burning and a tight quality to it. The pain is not otherwise exacerbated by respiratory movements or position. Her husband has angina and on one occasion she took one of his glyceryl trinitrate tablets. She thinks that this probably helped her pain since it seemed to go off a little faster than usual. She has also bought some indigestion tablets from a local pharmacy and thinks that these probably helped also.
