Chest Discomfort? Get the Help You Need from Our Doctors!

Hello,

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

Chest discomfort can have several causes, including heart-related conditions like angina or even less serious issues like muscle strain or acid reflux. It's important to evaluate the nature of your symptoms, such as the duration, severity, and whether the discomfort radiates to other areas like your arm or jaw. If you’re experiencing additional symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, or nausea, it’s important to seek immediate medical attention. A thorough assessment by a doctor, which may include an ECG, blood tests, or an echocardiogram, would be necessary to determine the cause.

Thanks
