What is Chest Pain?

Chest pain refers to discomfort or pain felt anywhere between the neck and upper abdomen. While it may sometimes be caused by non-cardiac issues such as acidity or muscle strain, chest pain can also be a warning sign of serious heart conditions. When related to the heart, it often occurs due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, a condition known as angina, or due to a heart attack (myocardial infarction).
