Chest pain is one of the most common reasons people see a cardiologist. It can range from a dull ache to a sharp, pressing sensation, and while not all chest pain comes from the heart, it should always be taken seriously and assessed promptly.
If chest pain is severe, crushing, spreads to your arm, neck or jaw, or comes with sweating, breathlessness or nausea, call 999 immediately — these may be signs of a heart attack.

Dr Wamil will review your symptoms, examine you, and arrange tests such as an ECG, blood tests, echocardiogram and CT coronary angiography to determine whether the heart is the cause.
Treatment depends on the cause and may include medication, lifestyle changes, or procedures to improve blood flow to the heart. Dr Wamil creates a personalised plan for each patient.
