Can heart disease run in the family?

Dr Yassir Javid

Chest pain is the most well-known symptom of heart disease. The typical pain which is caused by angina or a heart attack is described as a central crushing chest pain. It can sometimes cause a heavy aching in the left arm or in the neck or jaw. A heart attack also generally makes people feel sweaty, breathless and extremely unwell.
