Weird Chest Pain? Causes & When to Seek Medical Help

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Chest pain can have many potential causes, and not all of them are related to a heart attack. Conditions such as angina, pericarditis, panic attacks, a hernia, acid reflux, cholecystitis, a collapsed lung, a blood clot in the lung, or pneumonia can all cause chest pain. The pain may come and go, and its nature can vary. It’s important to determine if the pain radiates or changes with movement.

Given the range of possible causes, it’s advisable to consult with a doctor for a thorough evaluation and necessary investigations to rule out serious conditions.

Thanks
