I've had asthma, statin side-effects and simple bruising cause chest pain in the past. I was put onto a 24-hour ECG by the lipid clinic consultant which showed nothing seriously wrong. Can GPs do 24-hour ECGs? Could you provoke the pain while hooked up to an ECG? I'd keep a diary and note any patterns to the pain. It's often nothing serious, but it is pretty scary to have such pains.

Your GP should refer you to a heart specialist but you would be seen much quicker if someone took you to A & E the next time it happens.
