[|Human|] I keep getting chest pain on and off. I have had it now for 10 minutes and it really hurtsA Ct scan the other week showed I have aortic plaque build up or something like that. I have not had the results discussed with me yet. Could I be having a heart attack?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, your chest pain can be related to cardiac cause. Since you are having developing aortic plaque, possibility of embolization of this plaque in the coronary artery is more. By this, coronary artery is obstructed and hence chest pain can be felt. So we should first rule out coronary artery disease (CAD). So get done ECG, 2d echo, stress test (trade mill test) and coronary angiography (if required). All these will be needed to determine whether you had heart attack or not. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
