Chest Pain

Chest pain is pain or discomfort in the area between the neck and belly. Chest pain may be sharp or dull. It might come and go, or you might always feel the pain. The exact symptoms depend on the cause.

Many different things can cause chest pain. The most life-threatening causes involve the heart or lungs. So it’s important to get medical help for an accurate diagnosis.

If you think your chest pain is due to a heart attack, call 911 or your local emergency number right away.
