Chest Pain
At Ram Krishna Chest Hospital (RKCH), we understand that chest pain can be a worrying
symptom. Chest pain can be caused by many different conditions, some of which can be serious.
It’s important to know when to seek medical help.
Chest pain is any pain or discomfort felt in the chest area. It can feel like a sharp stab,
a dull ache, or a tight squeezing sensation. Chest pain can last for a few minutes or be
constant. It can also spread to your arms, neck, or back.
Common Causes of Chest Pain:
Heart Problems:
Heart attacks and angina (chest pain due to poor blood flow to the heart) are common causes of chest pain.
Lung Conditions:
Problems like pneumonia, bronchitis, or a collapsed lung can cause chest pain.
Digestive Issues:
Conditions such as acid reflux or a hiatal hernia can cause chest pain.
Muscle and Bone Problems:
Strained muscles or injured ribs can also lead to chest pain.
