What is Chest Pain?

Chest pain is a symptom that should never be ignored, especially when it is severe or persistent. In many cases, it is linked to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle due to narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. This type of pain, often referred to as angina, may feel like pressure, tightness, squeezing, or heaviness in the chest and can radiate to the arms, back, neck, or jaw.

Heart-related chest pain is a warning sign of underlying coronary artery disease and requires urgent medical evaluation. Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow to the heart to prevent permanent muscle damage or a heart attack.
