Dull (and 'heavy') persistent ache in centre of chest and upper arms, when I exert myself, and when lying down. What's going on?

I've literally only just started experiencing these sensations - started yesterday afternoon, quite bad last night - found sitting-up in bed eventually eased the pain, then fine, for the rest of the night. However, back again today, with a real feeling I was going to be sick, and even more strangely, gum (rather than tooth) ache all along the top and bottom jaw. But it comes and goes - I walked the dog this afternoon and though aware of the sensation, it was as nothing, compared to earlier sensations. Any clues?

Thanks Dovaston - Decided to do just that today - Pleased to report ECG test and Blood Pressure 'normal' but actually have a 'reflux system inflammation' which has identical symptoms of an angina attack! Course of prescribed drugs should alleviate in a few days - and after taking just 2 tablets today, already feeling a lot better.

. . . And the peace of mind is priceless!

Good man. So pleased the worry has gone and you are feeling better. It sounded like Angina but obviously wasn't ! 😀

Do you have any underlying illnesses?

If you have chest pains you should always get checked over by a medic of some sort. And self diagnose as it could be very dangerous.
