Chest Pain Evaluation

Chest pain can be caused by various conditions ranging from minor muscle strain to serious heart or lung disorders. Proper and timely evaluation is essential to identify the exact cause and initiate appropriate treatment.

At Dr. Raju's Chest Centre & Multispeciality Hospital, we provide comprehensive chest pain evaluation with advanced diagnostic facilities to ensure accurate diagnosis and prompt management.

Understanding Chest Pain

Chest pain may originate from the lungs, heart, muscles, ribs, pleura, or digestive system. While some causes are mild, others may be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention.

A detailed clinical evaluation helps differentiate between pulmonary, cardiac, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal causes of chest pain.

Common Associated Symptoms

  • Shortness of breath
  • Persistent cough
  • Fever
  • Palpitations
  • Radiating pain to shoulder, arm, or back
  • Worsening pain with deep breathing

Sudden severe chest pain with breathlessness may indicate a medical emergency and should not be ignored.

Possible Causes

  • Pneumonia and lung infections
  • Pleural effusion
  • Pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Costochondritis (rib inflammation)
  • Acid reflux (GERD)
  • Cardiac conditions
