I’m having this persistent chest pain, a kind of deep dull pain in the center of my chest

I’m also experiencing a lot of heartburn when I lay down to sleep and the pain in my chest feels stronger.
I’m not sure if it’s muscle strain from my new job or something else.

There are probably medical sites on the internet that help identify pain/discomfort with physical issues. Like a heart attack feels like this, and a obstruct bile duct feels like that, and a kidney stone .... etc.

If you do check them out I suggest doing so from the waiting room of an urgent care facility. A close relative thought she was having food poison and went to an urgent care facility where she was diagnosed with a SCAD, a spontaneous coronary artery dissection. An emergency condition that occurs when a tear forms in a wall of a heart artery.

@Heartlander I don't like to frighten people, but one should not depend on SW or Dr. Google.

@samueltyler2 On-line Doctors are our future, they haven't yet arrived yet they will shortly.

@senghenydd good luck with that. I ran a medical telephone hit line, i know the limitations. AI may help but never replace the bedside physician.

@samueltyler2 Please don't think A1 is any use, there is a A1 mode on my smart phone I used that mode only to have to quickly turn it off. If in any doubt go and see the Doctor of course.
