π« Chest Pain β Not Every Chest Pain Is Cardiac
Chest pain can have different causes, and not all cases are related to heart disease. Some conditions affecting the lungs, chest wall, or digestive system may also lead to chest discomfort.

β’ Pneumothorax (collapsed lung)
β’ Pleurisy (inflammation of the lung lining)
β’ Pulmonary embolism
β’ Costochondritis (inflammation of chest wall joints)
β’ Esophageal spasm
β’ GERD (acid reflux)
If chest pain is persistent, severe, or accompanied by symptoms such as shortness of breath, dizziness, or sweating, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
