What's wrong with chest tightness and chest pain? Six possible causes of chest pain


When it comes to chest tightness and chest pain, many people will immediately associate with heart problems, such as myocardial infarction. In fact, there are many causes of chest pain. In addition to heart disease, it may also be caused by other organ diseases. The following is to introduce which 6 causes of chest tightness and chest pain, and what are the characteristics of these diseases.



1. Heart disease

Symptoms: there is dull pain, but the pain point is not obvious. The pain will not be reduced or enhanced after changing the posture.



The most special pain of myocardial infarction is that you can't point out the "definite point" of pain, and changing different positions will not be more painful or even less painful. The most obvious symptom is actually "when you exercise and your heart beats, you will feel dull and painful nearby". If you always feel chest pain after exercise, you may have to check the related functions of the heart. Aortic dissection is a very serious problem, almost to the extent of vascular rupture. Therefore, if there is "sudden" tearing of the back or chest, or pain caused by knife cutting, you should go to the emergency department or cardiology department as soon as possible.



2. Lung diseases

Symptoms: the pain point is not obvious, and may be accompanied by cough and other symptoms.



Pulmonary disease in the impact of the pleura, or compression to the nerve when there will be pain, so the symptoms of pain is not very obvious; in addition, such as bacterial infection, fungal infection caused by pneumonia, or tuberculosis, because of pulmonary accumulation, there will be chest tightness, but how much will be accompanied by cough, asthma, dyspnea and other symptoms.



3. Stomach diseases

Symptoms: there is a dull pain, but the pain point is not obvious, and there will be a burning heart, that is, there is a burning sensation in the chest and abdomen.



Gastroesophageal reflux is one of the common causes of chest pain, because gastric acid runs through the esophagus to the mouth, which can damage the esophagus, and make the heart and chest and abdomen burn. Patients often feel more uncomfortable after eating, sitting or lying down.



4. Muscle strain

Symptoms: there are obvious tenderness points, and it will be more painful when changing posture.



If because of the wrong posture or more than the strength of the muscle load, hard to finish the exercise, may cause muscle strain. And this kind of pain belongs to "body surface pain", so you can clearly find the pain point. If you change your posture, it will be more painful or painless, which is very likely caused by muscle strain.



5. Herpes zoster

Symptoms: there are obvious tenderness points, which belong to neuralgia. Even if the posture is changed, the pain will not be affected. And about 2-3 days later there will be blisters.



Herpes zoster commonly known as skin snake, because the virus invades the nerve, so the pain will continue, changing posture will not change the pain, and can find obvious tenderness point. In addition to pain, there will be headache, fever and other symptoms similar to the cold, after 2 to 3 days began to appear rash, and then formed a group of blisters.



6. Psychological factors (anxiety)

Symptoms: the pain point is not obvious. It may cause pain all at once and no pain at all.



Psychological factors such as anxiety may also cause chest tightness and chest pain. This is because anxious people are particularly vulnerable to cues. When they see a disease, they feel that they are the disease, and the corresponding symptoms appear. If you can't find out the diseases of the organs, but you feel very uncomfortable, you can consider checking the autonomic nerves to see if there are autonomic disorders.



Small reminder: the above is for reference only. If chest pain continues, it is recommended to see a doctor immediately to find out the cause of the disease, which is more insurance.
