How to know whether your chest pain is serious

 KNOW ABOUT THE CAUSE OF YOUR CHEST PAIN

Chest pain, whether it is of left side or right side may be a presentation of some cardiac disorder and this is the only thing that requires urgent intervention. 

Mostly chest pain is because of some musculocutaneous, gastrointestinal abnormality or some because of some sort of anxiety or may be a manifestation of some lung disorder. In all these cases there is not any serious complication so can be dealt with enough time. 

Here, in this article we will confine our discussion to decide whether this pain is because of some cardiac complication or a manifestation of some other mild disorder. 

Symptoms that reveal that the pain is serious

-pain in the centre of chest. 

-pain radiating to neck, jaw, upper and lower limbs

-mostly cardiac pain is of dull nature, constricting type of pain. It appers to be like a discomfort rather than a pain

-pain during exercise(pain after exercise is mostly not that serious) 

-breathlessness is an associated symptom

-pain associated with sweating, nausea, or vomiting 

If you have any of these associated symptoms, then it is the time to consult a registered medical practioner. There is a myth that if you have left sided chest pain then it is serious, but the fact is that pain situated over the left anterior chest and radiating laterally is unlikely to be due to any cardiac ischemia and may ne because of any musculocutaneous, gastrointestinal, anxiety induced or of any other origin. 

Centrally located chest pain is really an an ⏰ alarming sign. 

Actually, there is not any margin line defined that can give a 100 percent guarantee that if you do not have a chest pain related to above symptoms then its safe, there may be severe pain of angina that is really very sharp in contrast to dull pain in other cardiac diseases.
