What Is Tietze Syndrome?
5. Complications
Sometimes the level of pain caused by Tietze syndrome can be quite intense. So intense that the patient might be concerned it is something much more serious. Such as a heart attack, for example. However, a heart attack is unlikely to cause pain only and is likely to be associated with other symptoms including nausea, sweating, and difficulty breathing.
Regardless, it is never a good idea to be too complacent because a heart attack, and some other conditions that cause chest pain, can be very dangerous. If you are not sure, it is best to play it safe and get medical assistance as soon as you possibly can.
