Chest pain-Angina, heart attack or is Not serious?

Almost all suffer from a sort of physiological chest pain at one time or another, and the important thing to note is that there are many causes of this condition.

Chest pain can be defined as a pain or discomfort that occurs at any point along the front edge of the bust between the upper abdomen and the underside of the neck. This is a painful condition due to the immediate suspicion in the minds of the sick who are, or are about to undergo a myocardial infarction (heart attack).

We recommend that you consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms are experienced:

Sudden crushing, squeezing, tightening or pressure in the chest
Pain radiating to the jaw and left arm, or between the shoulder blades
Nausea, dizziness, sweating, a racing heart, or breathlessness
Existing condition of Angina, which is suddenly intensified due to lighter tasks, lasts longer than usual, or occurs while rest
Sudden acute chest pain with shortness of breath, especially after a long journey, a stretch of bed rest (e.g., following an operation), or other lack of movement that can lead to a blood clot in the leg. As mentioned previously, physiological sources of chest pain can be many and varied and include the following;
Heart
Lungs
The Esophagus
Muscles
Ribs
Tendons
Nerves

However, most people who suffer from chest pain tends to focus on the big question in their minds-that there are only two different classifications-those that relate to the heart (cardiac) and those who do not (non-cardiac).

Cardiac causes of chest pain

Heart attack

This is caused by a blood clot that prevents the usual flow of blood flow to the heart muscle. This can cause a feeling of pressure, fullness or crushing chest pain, lasting more than a few minutes. The pain may radiate to other areas, such as the back, neck, jaw, shoulders and arms, especially the left arm. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness and nausea. All, some or none of these can accompany your chest pain.

Angina

Fat deposits can accumulate in the arteries that carry blood to the heart. This can reduce their width, and this in turn can lead to a restriction of blood flow to the heart, which is usually more obvious after physical activity or effort. This kind of restricted blood flow to the heart can cause regular, recurrent episodes of chest pain, which is defined as Angina Pectoris, or Angina, it is often described as a pressure or tightness in the chest. It is usually caused by emotional or physical stress. The pain usually goes away within a few minutes after stressful activity stopped.

Other causes cardiac

There are some other complex medical problems, which can cause chest pain.

Pericarditis-inflammation of the SAC that surrounds your heart a short-term condition often related to a viral infection. Acute pericarditis causing chest pain, penetrating and centralized. You can also have a fever and feel bad.

Aortic dissection-a rare life threatening chest pain, where separate inner layers of the main artery leading from the heart (aorta). This causes the blood to flow between them, causing a sudden pain tearing of chest and back. Is usually caused by physical trauma to the chest cavity, but can also result from uncontrolled hypertension.

Coronary spasm, also known as Prinzmetal's angina may cause varying degrees of chest discomfort. Coronary spasm In coronary arteries, the arteries-which provide blood to the heart go into spasm, temporarily shutting down the flow of blood to the heart.

Non-cardiac causes

There are many conditions that are unrelated to the heart, which can be the cause of chest pain. These include:

Asthma
Pneumonia
Anxiety
Rapid breathing
Heartburn
Pleurisy
Rib or muscle injuries
Collapsed lung
Swallowing disorders
