Chest Pain Treatment from Manhattan Primary Care NYC

There are many different forms of chest pain ranging from a dull ache to a sharp stabbing pain. Chest pain may feel crushing or burning, and it can travel from the chest into the neck and jaw or can radiate to the back and into one or both arms. The most serious chest pain affects the heart or lungs.

If you do feel chest pain, it’s important to seek immediate medical assistance, visit our NYC doctors because it could indicate a serious problem.

Although the problem may have nothing to do with your heart, there is no easy way to diagnose the issue without seeing a doctor.

When Chest Pain Is Heart-Related?

Chest pain is often linked to heart disease, and frequently, people with heart disease will feel a vague discomfort that they don’t identify as being painful. Usually, if chest discomfort is linked to a heart problem, it can cause one or more of the following symptoms:

• Nausea or vomiting
• A sensation of tightness, fullness, pressure or burning in your chest
• A searing or crushing pain that can spread to your neck, jaw, shoulders, and back, and to one or both arms
• The pain will last more than a few minutes or will feel worse with activity, and it can disappear and reappear or will vary in intensity
• Feeling short of breath
• Feeling dizzy or weak or having cold sweats

What Can Cause Heart Related Chest Pain?

There are several possible causes of heart-related chest pain. These include:

• Angina, where the blood flow to your heart is reduced due to plaque buildup inside your arteries. Plaque buildup restricts the heart’s blood supply and especially if you are active or exercising.
• Heart attacks can occur when the blood flow to your heart muscle is blocked, most often because of a blood clot.
• Aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition where the aorta can rupture. The aorta is the main artery leading from the heart.
• Pericarditis is inflammation of the sac around your heart and can cause sharp pain when you lie down or breathe in.
