2. INTRODUCTION Any discomfort or pain in the chest region is referred to as chest pain. It might travel to other parts of your upper body, such as your neck, jaw, or down your arms. Pain in the chest may be subtle or acute. You can have achiness or tightness. Or your chest could feel as though something is pressing down on it. Your chest pain may not go away for several minutes or hours. It can go on for six months or more in certain situations. It frequently gets worse when you exert yourself and gets better when you relax. It could even occur when you're sleeping. It may seem to be in a more expansive, broad region or a more focused one. You can be experiencing right-sided, left-sided, or middle-of-the-chest pain.

Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction) : Blockage of blood flow to a part of the heart muscle, leading to tissue damage. 2.Pulmonar y Causes : Pneumonia : Infection of the lungs, causing inflammation and chest pain. Pulmonary Embolism : Blood clot in the pulmonary arteries, blocking blood flow to the lungs.

4. 3. Gastrointestinal Causes : Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) : Acid reflux into the esophagus, causing burning chest pain (heartburn). Peptic Ulcer Disease : Open sores in the lining of the stomach or duodenum, leading to abdominal or chest pain. 4.Musculoskeletal Causes : Costochondritis : Inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone, causing localized chest pain. Muscle Strain : Overuse or injury to the chest muscles, leading to discomfort or pain with movement.

For example: Cardiac : Medications (e.g., nitroglycerin, aspirin), angioplasty, stent placement, or bypass surgery for coronary artery disease. Pulmonary : Anticoagulants, oxygen therapy, or clot-dissolving medications for pulmonary embolism. Symptom Management : Pain relief measures such as analgesics (e.g., acetaminophen, NSAIDs) or muscle relaxants may be prescribed to alleviate discomfort.
