NOT EVERY CHEST PAIN THAT YOU SUFFER FROM IS OF CARDIAC IN ORIGIN. CHEST PAIN CAN ORIGINATE FROM PRIMARILY FROM 4 CAUSES
1 CARDIAC
2 GASTIC CAUSES
3 PULMONARY CAUSE
4 MUSCULAR CAUSE
CARDIAC CHEST PAIN IS USUALLY EXERTIONAL ONLY. SOMETIMES HEART RELATED CHEST PAIN COMES AT REST. BLOOD VESSEL SUPPLYING TO THE HEART ARE CORONARY ARTERY VESSEL. BLOCKAGE IN THESE ARTERIES HINDERS THE BLOOD FLOW TO THE HEART AND THIS HINDERANCE OF BLOOD SUPPLY CAUSES CHEST PAIN. WHEN THE PATIENT IS AT REST HEART MUSCLES REQUIRE 45 ML OF BLOOD. WHEN THE PATIENT IS EXERCISING THE HEART MUSCLE REQUIRES 55-60 ML OF BLOOD. DUE TO THE BLOCKAGE IN THE ARTERIES THE CORONARY ARTERIES ARE NOT ABLE TO MATCH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE HEART MUSCLE. DUE TO THIS DIFFERENCE THE PATIENT EXPERIENCES DISCOMFORT OT CHEST PAIN. WHEN THE PATIENT TAKES REST OR STOPS THE EXERCISE THE BLOOD REQUIREMENT REDUCES SO THE CHEST PAIN DECREASES.
