Symptom #6: Chest Pain
Chest pain refers to pain that occurs anywhere on the chest. It should always be considered a medical emergency as it can be a symptom of serious conditions. Chest pain can be divided into heart or nonheart-related pain.
Some examples include myocardial infarction, pleural rub, musculoskeletal (costochondritis), and gastrointestinal (gastroesophageal reflux disease). The presence of a pulmonary embolism, or blood clot in the lung, will cause chest pain that worsens with breathing which typically indicates a “pleuritic” origin.
