Chest pain how litle it may look like actually carry significant risk for the persons with associated risk factors fir heart disease. Here I will be discussing about chest pain and the common myth of heart diasease. One must understand the basics of chest pain so that they cab access healthcare facility in time and prevent certain complications and fatalities. There are 10 (ten) points to remember which can guide you for better management if chest pain. These are as fillows. 1) if you are having chest pain you need ro find out where it is located. Is it on the left side or right side or actually in the upper abdomen? chest pain which is retrosternal in origin that means in the niddle of your chest and overlying left side of your chest it may be of cardiac origin. Sometimes upper abdominal pain may also present with underlying cardiac disease. But mostly it is in left side and mid portions of your chest which has more probability of becoming cardiac origin. 2) second important thing is radiation of pain. If your left sided or retristernal chest pain is radiating towards upper arm of left side and going downwards it may be of typical angina that is cardiac chest pain. Sometimes this pain may radiates upwards, back side or sown wards also. But pribability of having heart dusease is more if you are having typical radiation towards left upper arm. 3) thirdly the inportant aspects of chest pain is duration of chest pain. A chest pain of more than 20 mins is suggestive of underlying heart disease if it fulfills other criterias nenrioned here. A chest pain of shorter duration which have typical characteristics of localization and radiations may suggests underlying heart disease also. A typical chest pain in heart attack usually lasts more than 20 mins and continues with increase intensity. Shorter duratuon of chest pain (say for 5 mins) with orher typical characteristics may be of cardiac origin but of less severity than a heart attack. It may be stable angina which also mandates you to visit any nearby heakrhcare access. 4) fourthly you have to look the situations upon which chest pain started. Were you taking exercises or any stressful work or at rest. If your chest pain starts with doing exercise, running, walking of particular distance or durations it may be a sign of heart disease and you need to consult with your physician immediately. 5) if you are having chest pain when at rest it is of utmost importance as your probability of having heart disease is more and usually it has been seen that nature of disease severity is also high in such cases. A chest pain at rest persisting for more than 20 mins with increasing intensity may be associated with heart attack. 6) situations which relieve chest pain are an important guide for evaluation of chest pain. If your chest pain started with as mentioned in fourth point (with exercise, walking, running) and persists for few minutes and subsides after taking rest you are having stable angina. This is the classical scenario. That means you have heart disease with probable blockage in your heart arteries. 7) if your chest pain is subsiding with taking certain medications like sorbitrate tablet underneath your tongue it is almost certain that you are suffering from heart disease wirh blockage inside ther heart arteries. 8) this same kind of initiation of chest pain may also start with emotional stress or after shouting or after quarralleing also. If this pain has sane characteristics like mentuoned above it may predicts underlying heart diseases. 9) sometimes chest pain may persists with prolonged duration and changes with posture. If yiu are feeling increase chest pain while sitting in the bed with leaning forward you may have pericardial (outer coverings of heart) involvement. This is called pericarditis. You need to visit nearby healthcare facility with utmost urgency. 10) lastly the nature of chest pain which deternines wherther it is of cardiac origin or mat be from acidity, indigestion etc. Usually the chest pain of underlying heart disease is of increased intensity in nature. But remember often it presents with heaviness of chest that means tou will find it difficult to have our breath easily. Sometimes it may be of constricting around chest or compressing or squezzing in nature. These type of pain and sendation is usually of heart origin. Never ignore them in the name of acidity. And most importantly the diabetic populations may never feel any significant chest pain rather they might have difficulties in breath like mentioned above.

This clot blocks the lungs and creates a life-threatening situation for the patient. With prompt medication and treatment, the risk can be mitigated.
Symptoms
The symptoms of Pulmonary Embolism vary with the size and position of the clot. The most common symptoms include pain in the chest and shortness of breath. The patient with Pulmonary Embolism suffers from chest pain occasionally, and it gets worse with physical activity. The pain is deep and feels like a heart attack.
The other common symptoms are:
Pain in legs or swelling
Fever
Irregular heartbeat
Fatigue
Feeling tired all the time
Coughing
Dizziness
Heartburn
Causes
Pulmonary Embolism is caused due to the formation of several clumps or blood clots that enter into the Pulmonary arteries. Typically, these clots are formed from the deep veins of the legs, also known as Deep Vein Thrombosis. The clots block the flow of blood in the lungs, which is fatal to the patients.
These clots gradually build up in the arteries. Some very common causes for the formation of these clots are the release of fats from the broken long bones, the tissue in the bloodstream or air bubble.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism is difficult in patients who are already suffering from heart or lung conditions. However, doctors look for a D-dimer level in the bloodstream to determine the clots. There are various causes for a high level of D dimer, but it gives a starting point to the doctor to investigate further.
Blood Test: The blood test checks the level of D dimer in the blood. If the level is high, the doctor may determine the amount of oxygen level in the blood. Generally, the blood clots lower the level of oxygen in the blood. If the oxygen level is low, doctors doubt the presence of blood clots.
Ultrasound: The body imaging method helps doctors to check for clots in the blood without performing any operation. This non-invasive way gives the imagery of the veins. Clumps can easily be seen in the images of the Ultrasound report.
CT Scan: The spiral CT scan moves around the body to look for clots in the veins. It is a high-tech method through which doctors determined the number, size, and amount of blood clots in the patients.
Takeaway
The treatment for Pulmonary Embolism depends upon the size and number of clots in the body. If a person is already suffering from heart or lungs condition, then he/she shall be given medication accordingly. The most common treatment entails medicines, such as blood thinners, which makes the blood thinner. These medications help in dissolving the clots.","dateCreated":"","author":{"@type":"Physician","name":"Dr.Prashant Vazirani","medicalSpecialty":"Cardiologist","image":"https://assets.lybrate.com/img/documents/doctor/dp/2497a823f092cedbc7059001ab05025d/Cardiology-PrashantVazirani-Ahmedabad-2f883b","url":"https://www.lybrate.com/ahmedabad/doctor/dr-prashant-vazirani-cardiologist"},"interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"LikeAction","userInteractionCount":"0"}}},{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Question","text":"What Triggers Tuberculosis (TB)?","answerCount":null,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","upvoteCount":"0","text":"Although your body is already in possession of the bacteria leading to tuberculosis, your immune system is able to prevent you from becoming sick. Doctors have made a distinction between latent and active tuberculosis (TB). In the case of latent TB, the bacteria in the body in a passive state and it causes no symptoms, and therefore it is not contagious. But, in the case of active TB, you would become sick and may even spread the disease to others. It can take place in the first few weeks or even after several months of being infected with TB bacteria.
What are the symptoms of active TB? If you are coughing for over three weeks and sometimes even coughing up blood, it can be a sign of TB. Chest pain and pain, while coughing and breathing along with fatigue, fever, chills and night sweat, are the common symptoms of TB along with the loss of appetite and unintentional weight loss. TB may even affect other organs of your body, including your brain, spine and kidneys. When TB takes place outside the lungs, then the signs of TB can vary as per the organs that are involved. For instance, TB in the spine can cause back pain and that in kidneys may cause blood in the urine.
What are the causes of TB? TB is stemmed from a bacteria which spreads from individual to individual via the microscopic droplets that are released into the air. This may happen when an affected person is left untreated and he speaks or sneezes or coughs or laughs. Though the disease is contagious, it is not easy to be affected by it. As a result, you are much more likely to get affected with active tuberculosis from a person you live with or come in regular contact with, rather than a stranger. It is important to note here that people who are affected by TB and going through proper medications for over two weeks are no more contagious.
Right from the 1980s, the number of individuals affected with TB has increased dramatically, owing to the spread of HIV, which is the virus known for causing AIDS. A person infected with HIV has a weak immune system as a result of which it becomes difficult for the body to deal with TB bacteria. So those who have AIDS are more likely to be affected with active TB and sometimes the latent form also progresses to an active one very quickly. Therefore, it is important to seek medical assistance and detect if you have any such health complications concerning TB.","dateCreated":"","author":{"@type":"Physician","name":"Dr.Manav Manchanda","medicalSpecialty":"Pulmonologist","image":"https://assets.lybrate.com/img/documents/doctor/dp/995ff8d8b1f710a394a25e089003bf3c/Pulmonology-ManavManchanda-Faridabad-3126f7","url":"https://www.lybrate.com/faridabad/doctor/dr-manav-manchanda-pulmonologist"},"interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"LikeAction","userInteractionCount":"0"}}},{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Question","text":"Acharya Balkrishna Hospitalized Due To Chest Pain - Know More About The Condition!","answerCount":null,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","upvoteCount":"0","text":"Yoga guru and entrepreneur Ramdev s close aide Acharya Balkrishna complained of chest pain and was admitted to AIIMS on Friday.

It can be caused due to an extrapleural or an intrapleural injury. An extrapleural injury damages the chest wall on the outside while an intrapleural injury damages the chest wall on the inside. Sometimes, Hemothorax is accompanied by excess air in the pleural cavity, known as pneumothorax. If they both occur at the same time, the condition is said to be hemopneumothorax. When blood accumulation is as large as nearly one liter, it has the potential to lead to shock and is referred to as Massive Hemothorax, which can be fatal.
Causes- Hemothorax can be caused by a number of factors discussed as follows: Traumatic injury in an accident or sports causes the pleural lining of the lungs or chest to rupture. It causes blood to spill over into the pleural cavity, and it finds no way to drain itself out. Chest and lungs are so sensitive that even the smallest of injuries (or seemingly small) have the potential to cause Hemothorax. Tuberculosis and other lung infections can cause Hemothorax. Pulmonary embolism refers to a blood clot in the lungs that can cause Hemothorax. Lung or pleural cancer also have the potential to cause grave disease. Defective blood clotting as in hemophilia in which blood lacks clotting factors can cause Hemothorax. Tissue necrosis in the lungs or pulmonary infarction is a lung tissue dysfunction which can cause Hemothorax. Tearing of pulmonary blood vessels due to an invasive surgical procedure also has the potential of causing Hemothorax. Patients who have undergone major surgeries like lung transplant and open- heart surgery are very likely to get Hemothorax.
Symptoms- There are many symptoms associated with Hemothorax like low blood pressure, rapid rate of heart, cold and pale skin color, chest pain while breathing, tense and shallow breathing, difficulty in breathing, anxiety, and restlessness.
Diagnosis- Physical examination includes listening to the sounds of abnormal breathing and to the sounds of liquid in the chest. An X-Ray image reveals the presence of liquid in the pleural cavity. A full Computed Tomography Scan can reveal the occurrence as well as the cause of Hemothorax. An ultrasound provides good insight into the situation of the lungs and the pleural cavity. Sometimes, a sample of the pleural fluid is extracted for test and diagnosis.
Treatment- The procedure is performed under anesthesia. A catheter or a needle is inserted into the chest through ribs for removing air and blood from the pleural cavity. If the lung collapses, it is expanded using the chest tube, which is left attached to a closed system. This ensures the escape of air and fluid from the pleural cavity and prevents additional air from entering the pleural space. This section is hence left in a water seal or hooked up to suction. If the injury is small, chest drainage might be sufficient depending upon the case. However, if there is a major injury, it might require stopping bleeding at its source through a surgery.
Take Away- Hemothorax can cause a collapsed lung that might progress to lead to respiratory failure. If left untreated, Hemothorax can cause infection in pleura, lung or pleural fluid in the chest cavity. Hemothorax can cause scarring of the lung tissue and pleural membranes. Retained Hemothorax occurs when blood stays in the pleural cavity for too long. It might clot and get difficult to remove through the catheter. It might also cause the buildup of pus in the surrounding region leading to an infection. Retained Hemothorax is treated by draining the fluid differently or through a video-assisted surgical procedure. Before opting for any treatment or surgery, one should always consult a doctor.","dateCreated":"","author":{"@type":"Physician","name":"Dr.Mohd Zeeshan Hakim","medicalSpecialty":"General Surgeon","image":"https://assets.lybrate.com/null","url":"https://www.lybrate.com/varanasi/doctor/dr-zeeshan-hakim-general-surgeon"},"interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"LikeAction","userInteractionCount":"0"}}},{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Question","text":"Homeopathy Treatment For Cardiological Disorders!","answerCount":null,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","upvoteCount":"0","text":"Homeopathy is a method of treatment which is based on the fact that symptoms of a certain disease, if induced in small quantities, may help cure the same disease in a sick person.
