40% of people will experience chest pain at some point, but 70% of cases are mild and temporary. • Musculoskeletal issues, like poor posture and physical activity, are common causes of chest discomfort. • Gastrointestinal problems, such as acid reflux and indigestion, often mimic heart-related chest pain. • Anxiety and stress can lead to chest tightness, which is psychological but can feel like a physical issue. • Myocardial ischemia (angina) is one of the most common and important causes of chest discomfort due to an imbalance in the heart's oxygen supply. • Stable angina is triggered by exertion, cold, or stress and typically lasts less than 10 minutes, while unstable angina occurs at rest and can signal a heart attack. • Myocardial infarction (heart attack) causes chest pain lasting more than 30 minutes and is a medical emergency. • Pericarditis causes sharp, pleuritic chest pain that is relieved by sitting up or leaning forward, often due to viral infections. • Aortic dissection causes sudden, severe chest pain described as a tearing or ripping sensation, and is life-threatening if untreated. • Pulmonary embolism involves sudden, sharp chest pain, shortness of breath, and can be fatal if not treated promptly. • Pulmonary hypertension leads to pressure-like chest pain and symptoms like leg swelling and cyanosis, often due to chronic lung or heart disease. • Pneumonia and pleuritis cause pleuritic chest pain, worsened by breathing, and are typically associated with infections. • Esophageal reflux and spasms cause burning or sharp chest discomfort, often mistaken for heart-related pain, but relieved by antacids. • By Npatchett - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index... • By https://www.scientificanimations.com - https://www.scientificanimations.com/..., CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index... • By Laboratoires Servier - This file was made available with support from the Helpdesk at the Content Partnerships Hub.
