What is Chest Pain?

The pain can take a variety of forms that confuse the question of whether it is heart-related. For some, there is tightness in the center of the chest, while for others, there is burning pain at the back of the breastbone, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw, or back.

Shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, cold sweats, or palpitations can happen too.

Even mild or intermittent pain in the chest must not be ignored. At Artemis Cardiac Centre, we make sure each case is thoroughly assessed to eliminate life-threatening reasons and initiate immediate treatment.

Why Does One Experience Chest Pain?

Chest pain may arise from any system of the body, not necessarily the heart alone. Nevertheless, the cardiac reasons are usually the most dangerous and comprise:

  • Angina: Resulted from decreased blood supply to the heart, usually brought on by stress or physical exertion.
  • Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction): Abdominal emergency caused by total artery occlusion.
  • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD): Chronic artery narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart.
  • Pericarditis or Myocarditis: Heart lining inflammation or heart muscle inflammation.

Other Non-Cardiac Causes:

  • Gastrointestinal: Acid reflux, esophagitis, or peptic ulcer.
  • Pulmonary: Pneumonia, pleuritis, or pulmonary embolism.
  • Musculoskeletal: Costochondritis or rib trauma.
  • Psychological: Panic attacks or anxiety that simulate heart-related symptoms.

Correct diagnosis is needed to differentiate among these and allow for proper, timely treatment.

Time Taken For Treatment

Chest Pain is broadly classified and based on the technique that is used:

About Chest Pain Treatment

Preparation

  • Medical History & Physical Exam: To identify the probable source of your symptoms.
  • Blood Tests: Particularly for cardiac markers such as troponin.
  • ECG & Imaging: Electrocardiogram, echocardiography, and chest X-rays are usually initial-line tests.
  • Lifestyle Review: Evaluation of risk factors such as smoking, stress, or high blood pressure.

Allergies, pre-existing heart/lung conditions, and medication are encouraged to be reported by patients. This facilitates making the safest care pathway individualized.

What Does the Procedure Involve?

Depending on the initial results, your physician might go ahead with:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG): Tests electrical activity of the heart.
  • Troponin Test: Detects heart muscle damage.
  • Chest X-Ray: To rule out lung problems or heart enlargement.
  • Echocardiography: Evaluates heart valves, pumping strength, and pericardium.
  • Stress Test: Simulates exertion to assess oxygen supply to the heart.
  • CT/MRI: Advanced imaging in complex or unclear cases.

What Follows the Procedure?

You may be prescribed medications such as antiplatelets, beta-blockers, or nitrates. Observation or admission if you’re found to be at high risk. Follow-up visits and lifestyle guidance to avoid recurrence. If necessary, angiography or angioplasty could be suggested depending on results.
