Chest pain assessment
A fast, careful check to find out whether chest pain comes from the heart — and what to do about it.
Not every chest pain comes from the heart — but every chest pain deserves a proper check. I keep same-day slots for people with new symptoms.
If the pain is severe, crushing, spreads to your arm or jaw, or comes with sweating or breathlessness, do not wait for an appointment: call 999 or go to the nearest emergency department.
How I check your chest pain
- A detailed history — the most useful test of all
- ECG and, when needed, blood tests for heart muscle damage
- An exercise test or echocardiogram for pain that comes with effort
- A clear explanation of the cause and the next steps
