Think chest pain is always a heart attack? Think again! 🫀🧐
Chest pain can be caused by many conditions besides a heart attack. Common causes include GERD, anxiety, muscle strain, costochondritis, hiatal hernia, and panic attacks. These can lead to sharp or burning pain in the chest.
If you experience this type of chest pain, your provider may perform a physical exam and could request an electrocardiogram, blood tests, a chest X-ray, CT scan, or endoscopy to diagnose the potential cause.
