Kinds Of Chest Pain We Treat At Our Practice

Many people think of chest pain only as a symptom of heart attack or heart disease, but it can have several underlying causes. Our chest pain specialists address multiple kinds of chest pain with prompt care. Some common examples include:

  • Heart attack: It happens when the blood supply to the heart muscles is obstructed, causing damage to the heart tissue. You may experience chest pain along with other symptoms. It requires emergency medical treatment.
  • Angina: This type of chest pain occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen due to narrowed or blocked arteries. It may feel like tightness or squeezing in the chest and may be triggered by intense activity or stress.
  • Pulmonary embolism: It occurs when a blood clot travels to the lungs and stops the blood flow, causing chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, and rapid heartbeat. It can be lethal if not treated immediately. 
  • Pneumonia: It is an infection of the lungs that causes inflammation and buildup of fluid in the air sacs. Pneumonia presents with chest pain that worsens with breathing or coughing, fever, chills, cough, and mucus production.

    How Do We Address Chest Pain?

    Our chest pain doctors will first run a few diagnostic tests to determine the root cause of the issue. In many cases, medications alone are enough to treat the underlying problem. These medications may include beta-blockers, aspirin, ACE inhibitors, anticoagulants, diuretics, etc. In severe cases, our doctor will perform other procedures, such as stent placement or angiography, to open the blocked arteries.

    Very thorough and makes sure you understand.
