I have had sharp chest pains at least once a week which last for about 5 minutes each time, for the past 6 weeks or so. Could these be symptoms of CVD, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure?

Hi Ktimeztwo,

 

Yes, it's possible your chest pains are connected to a heart condition.  I recommend being evaluated by your physician to determine the cause.  Here is a link to information on the signs of a heart attack - http://www.healthcentral.com/heart-disease/patient-guide-44510-6.html.

 

All the best,
